Indeed, just wondered why the two exceptions in the video were being left to rot...They are being sold for scrap, in general.
I suppose it could be an unexpected failure at an inopportune location but it's hard to know without more information. Scrapping companies generally operate on slim margins and scrapping schedules are sometimes adjusted because of market changes and pricing pressures. If a given design is made of materials that are not as desirable as some other recycling process then the less desirable material will be sidelined to make way for other more profitable recycling tasks. If the value of the depressed material does not rebound relative to other recycling tasks a defunct conveyance may end up sitting around for years slowly wasting away.Indeed, just wondered why the two exceptions in the video were being left to rot...Ed.They are being sold for scrap, in general.
