That stuff gets used by bored volunteers at the spare parts table to build elaborate structures. A pyramid was built with all the dead Drill motors (about 20). All sorts of screw and sheet metal monuments were built. Ducky almost put an entire blue light cover back together from shattered pieces. I offered her some epoxy to complete the job but she didnt want to live with the fumes.
However, I dont know what happens to these parts after we are done with them. I think the motors go back to their respective companies. Some companies may rebuild the motors or gear boxes if it is cost effective.
