    I can look into selling it but how would I transport and store it? Where could I sell it? And would the conveyor casing and supports yield a profit? Will a recycling company disassemble and transport the scrap?

    Some recycling companies will pick up large loads, none will disassemble something for you. If you want a good price you'll have to put in work. For transport use google. For where to sell parts ebay and to repair shops. For storage google storage and your town or put it in your driveway while you disassemble it. For profit go look at the parts and see what they sell for on-line. That will also tell you some potential buyers for them.

    I have to disagree with some of you statement. There are scrap yards that do demolition and decommissioning jobs. You are of course going to pay for this in one way or another.

    Totally. I was thinking only in the context if 'free'. You're right.
