Speaking only of Motorola here in Phoenix, all of the good stuff is disposed of in one of two ways; all of the circuit boards (that we build here) and the scrap components are saved and sent to a precious metals reclaim place. It's upsetting to think of all of that stuff being ground to powder. :-( The junk terminals, scopes, and other equipment goes to public auction. (In Phoenix, check the Republic classified section 5200 for auctions on Grant street, the ads do not say Motorola. I think ones comming up on Sept 8th.)
