If you can get it to the tip and put it in the scrap metal bin, it’ll almost certainly get recycled in bulk. It’s usually coarsely sorted with an electromagnet to pull out the big bits of steel, then the rest is shredded. Aluminium comes out using a magnetic field. Not sure about separating the other metals like brass and copper but it is done because of the high value.
Re-use is best. Tried selling it as a cheap job lot on eBay, Gumtree or put it on freecycle?
