craigs list unless you have tons literally it is not worth scrapping however lots of people need old iron to build things with a used beams. a beam spanning about 25 ft and having about a 10" web. brings about $800 so it might be worth it to sell them.

My dad always told me never to throw away or get rid of any steel, because you never know when you will need it, and then end up paying a high price for it later. I gave away 5 tons of accumulated steel shapes when I moved, and sure enough, I'm buying steel at retail prices when a project comes along.

i'd keep the steel and use it or sell it later. it might be pretty heavy, but it won't take up much room alongside your house or barn or alongside your driveway.
as far as the bricks go i would also keep them because they look like older ones which are nicer to own or sell and they also look like they don't have any old mortar on them. if you stack them up and decided not to use them you'd probably get $.25 to $.50 per brick on a quick Craigslist deal or they make great walkways and lawn edging.
you have enough to maybe side the front of your house and you know what a brick home looks like.
good luck
