recycling steel

In another place I hang out, we're discussing a tower that was
toppled by a tornado 25 years ago. Seeing as how this was a
327 ft tower, weighing ~135 tons, that's a lot of bent steel.
But the story is, it was not sellable as scrap because it was
galvanized. They ended up burying it on-site!
You guys know lots more about steel than I do, so why is it you
can't reuse galvanized steel?
25 years ago it was probably not worth enough to cut it up and transport
it.
