Welcome to the forum. First I do mean we welcome you here but we do not discuss refining of metals there is another forum devoted to that area of interest that you should join. I assume since you have Holks book you are aware of that forum.
Next I personally I have experienced similar issues where I had a big stockpile with buckets and boxes of mixtures of various items. So where do you start can be the real question. I suggest you decide what you want to be a refiner or a recycler. To be a proper and profitable refiner you need extensive equipment and facilities for the safe processing of the material.
So I think it would be best to find great buyers of your ewaste. Here in the US we have our members buyers on the forum who offer great services and competitive pricing. Our members who use these buyers give regular reports on their performance.
If you have great buyers you can concentrate on acquiring the materials and shipping them off. Perhaps you could evolve into a buyer yourself, we haven't heard of many EU buyers.
Set yourself a priority in your current situation and move forward. One thing that helped me was to process everything that comes in each day first so it doesn't add to the pile. With my situation and following this advice everything I took off the pile of old stuff was a move forward rather than adding to the pile. Good luck and 73, Mike
