I don't think anything is being salvaged, just destroyed.
Quite symbolic from my point of view.

My cousin ran a salvage business for years...beautiful things carefully removed and stored. Folks bought flooring, windows etc...all kinds of reuse materials....and stained glass, sometimes furniture, weather vanes...a really lucrative business.
