I think it would take a lot of time and effort to cut that much fiberglass up into haulable bits.
A demolition claw may help ?

Yep. The picture I posted above and yours show just how truly massive these things are. I think just driving past them, or even seeing pictures of them standing it's difficult to comprehend the scale. Even pics of the on the ground with scale-size object such as my 6 foot tall wife don't really help get your head around it like seeing them in person does.

The red truck on the left is parked even with the truck hauling the blade. You can see where the shadow of the 53' trailer the red truck is hauling goes to. Extrapolate the out to the rest of the blade.
