Hull loss - where do they go?

OK, so CNN is reporting now that the hull of Flight 214 in SFO is being removed and the runway will soon reopen.

I assume that it is not necessary for the NTSB to reconstruct the aircraft to determine the causes of this crash. So what happens to the remains of the 777?

Is it simply torn apart with big machinery and scrapped for aluminum, copper, etc? Can any of the parts be reused?

...just wondering....
