No, because it doesn't make business sense.  The cost of collecting,
shipping, delivery, extraction, etc, when taken as whole end-to-end
process can't make business case, especially when it's cheaper to buy
gold in the open market.

I suspect, that the local business activity, which you refer to, are
insulated from overall cost.

The only metal that makes sense are
    - copper, eg. power cord, CRT coil
    - steel, eg. computer case
