Disposing of Crashed Seat

Insurance just confirmed they are covering the cost of our new seat (crashed seat has not been used since fender bender). The Insurance Co seems to just want to send us a check for the cost. Since they don't want the crashed seat, I'd like to keep the parts that are re-usable. Is that just the cover? The seat was unoccupied. Are there any other parts of the seat (SK Radian XTSL) that can be kept before I dispose of the seat?

Also, does the SK Radian XTSL cover fit the Diono Radian RXT seat?

Just the cover for use on a child restraint, though if you wanted other pieces (straps for example) for an alternative purpose that of course would be fine.

I am not sure how common they are, but the Safekids coalition in my area (Columbia , SC) just started a carseat recycling program. They disassemble the seats and donate the covers to local animal shelters and send the plastics and metals to the appropriate recycling facilities. They were still trying to figure out what to do with the webbing.
