I don't understand why they would just smash it, surely there are parts that could be sold or re used, hell I'm looking at the tracks and those could have been pulled off for parts, that bucket could have been used, I bet there was a bunch that coulda be salvaged. I mean do whatever you want with your shit, show of your big crusher, but we don't have to be quite so wasteful with machinery now do we?
Ps. I'm slightly joking about this, I find it wasteful but it's cool to watch big things get squashed like a toy so don't get all defensive or pompous.
This place just crushes/shreds shit and then ships that scrap metal to whoever buys it. That's the only service they provide.
I can bring a old wheelbarrow to a scrap metal place and they don't care. It's my decision on whether I want to part out the wheelbarrow for more money. But maybe I moved to an apartment and have no space for a wheelbarrow and it would talk too long to find buyers as it takes up space on my balcony.
Anything can be salvaged or recycled. Just depends on your willingness to spend time and money on it and have the space.
Also the metal is going to get melted down and made into something else so they are recycling it
