Not if they've been classified as requiring "demilitarization", which in
this case means reducing to shredded scrap metal. Granted, it's not
obvious why these have been classified as such.
Sometimes, things are classified as "must be destroyed" because they are
unsafe in their present state (bent, corroded, rusted), and they don't
want someone selling them without noting that. This was a big problem
with surplus airplanes a few decades ago. In this case, maybe those
tower trailers were flooded in Katrina or something, and have unknown
histories.
It's sort of like a "salvage title" on a car that has been wrecked.
