I assume almost everything I “recycle” goes to landfill too. It just happened to go to a landfill in China before they stopped accepting it.

Paper, glass, and metals, in larger chunks, likely get recycled, because it's economically sensible.

Anything more complicated, especially tightly bound together, is likely cheaper to dump on a landfill. Which I think is sort of fine for non-toxic, non-volatile stuff.
