ive got a contact in st louis that works for a smaller bilboard comapny. once a sign comes down they store them in the back for about 6 months. some compainies want to rerun the same add some months later (perhaps its seasonal) so they retain those.

others are collected in the lot for about 6-8 months. then they sell them, mostly to farmers. My neighbor has one drapped across hay as i speak.

he likes them because they are super heavy duty and come with a built in pocket he slides a pipe in and then ties that off to the ground. (basicly the same way they attach them up in the sky)

Think he got his for like $30-$40 which seems good for as heavy duty as it is.
