    200ft Long Conveyor. Can this be scrapped?

    A friend of mine has "given" me a 200ft long conveyor (3 feet wide) that was used for transporting rocks over a highway. The conveyor is enclosed by an aluminum shell (about the same size as a shipping crate) and is held up with thick metal beams (about 15ft off the ground).



    Assuming that the recycling company can disassemble and transport this stuff, do you think it I could turn a profit?

    3 sides of 200x8 sq ft aluminum siding = 4800 sq ft. A quick google search shows that aluminum siding is .5 lbs per square foot, so that would be 2400lbs.
    6 15' metal beams and 1 200x8 3 inch thick floor (im guessing this is steel?)

    Also, would it be worth it to sell this conveyor or scrap it? If so, where can I sell it? I found some aggregate conveyors for sale online that are going for $15K+ for 50ft sections.

    Thanks!

    *** EDIT: A few questions:

    1. How much do you think this conveyor is worth? How can I sell it? Would it be worth it to transport it for storage?
    2. Can I sell the aluminum casing and the beams for scrap? Would a recycling company disassemble and transport this scrap? Would it be profitable?
