Dish Network dish - Worth anything? Taken away

Just had roof replaced. Contractor asked what to do about the Dish Network dish. I originally paid for all equipment but after two or three years cancelled all service.

I told the contractor "take it off - It's mine". To my surprise his crew took the dish away. He was $1000 dollars cheaper than other bids. Sort of a friend.

Should I ask for it back?

Just junk. not hardly worth the effort to bend down and pick it up.

You can see them in the scrap yard shred heap.

the LMB might be able to be resold http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=dish+network+lnb

some people use the dish to make a solar cooker

I've heard of people repurposing them to make point to point WI-FI bridges.

I've also heard of this being done with old 4 foot dishes as well.
