Where's all that stuff going- somebody shooting it out into space?



No, it's rusting in the form of steel cars, metal structures, bridges, etc.

It's burning in the form of sodium-vapor streetlamps, solid rocket fuel,
refinery operations, etc.

One of the primary laws of physics is that matter cannot be created or
destroyed... so the metals aren't going anywhere, only being converted into
stuff which is unusable.
