They definitely sell all the scrap metal etc. In this instance everything that was recoverable was to be set aside for the city to sell/auction (however it worked) but mostly everything was a disaster. It was supposed to be furniture, appliances, stuff like that. We weren't tearing out copper wiring and pipes etc. The plan was to get all the shit out, keep what is good, bring in whatever team they had that would fumigate, remediate, and whatever other ate they needed to do to not make the place a death trap and they sell the houses at auction. Then someone buys it and tears it down. Haha.
