Plastic with gold plated wires

Can some one tell me a simple best way to process these kind of gold tape and wires from different electronics mixed together ? Please !?

Heres more pics

1stly everything not containing gold is trimmed off

Not a lot of gold on those pieces. Not enough to warrant special treatment and running it in a separate batch.

I deal with them in two ways. First I trim off anything not gold using a pair of scissors. I throw the non-gold parts in with my low grade boards and sell it.

Then, if I have a copper chloride leach running I just toss the gold plated parts in there. The underlying copper dissolves and the gold mixes with the gold from the fingers I'm running.

Otherwise if it's just a few pieces I just toss it in with my old filters that I will incinerate. The same thing here, the little gold there is will mix with the rest and I'll recover it all when I process old filters.
