Worldbuilding Weekend Prompt #77 - Scrapyards
Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 😀

The prompt this week is - Scrapyards
What happens to equipment destroyed by war in your setting ?
In the real world, before the 20th Century battlefields were stripped bare very rapidly, with everything being recycled or reused one way or another. But now, with more technological warfare, battlefields are strewn with debris. After World War 2, there were fields full of broken tanks, dragged there and gradually disposed of over subsequent years.
Tell me a tale of what happens in your setting ! Who organises the collecting up of destroyed wreckage ? How is it disposed of ? Who gets rich from it and how ? Who loses out ? What pollution and environmental damage is left behind ?
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
