The old electric meters are refurbished, and then sold off as there is a strong market for conventional meters outside of the domestic metering market.
Gas meters are broken up and the metal sold for scrap.
When your meters were changed, the engineer should have left a card by the meters with both the readings from the old meters and the initial readings from the new meters. Check that the readings are correct on your billing statements. If not, you will need to phone Customer Services to get them to look into it.

Hi thank you, sent an email & got nowhere really. So l rang the customer service & the nice lady agreed with me the meter reader had probably put 5 instead of 2 , she is going to get it changed it will take couple of days.
Thank you so much, no more lying on the floor to get a gas meter reading.
