Great now there's a bunch of mixed metals, pcbs, silicone, etc melted together.

Surely there is a better approach to recycle these?

This was done in my home town. The unrefined metal was collected, machined and polished, and the company sells pieces of it as "robot steel" memorabilia.

Terminators cannot self-terminate. They must be lowered into the steel.
