Some day all of those will be valuable cultural artifacts. Or alternatively, they'll be all that's left of humanity. I guess we're moving towards the second scenario right now.

Valuable, but also radioactive and locked away probably
I call dibs on the urine, and vomit bags.
200 tons is less than I would have expected honestly.
I'm shocked it's that much!
Guess it depends if it's 200 tons worth moon-weight or 200 tons here on Earth.
I'm expecting all of those bits and pieces will be used in the construction of lunar settlements. It took a lot to get that stuff up there, may as well use it in place.

We'll need to grow food on the moon, compost that shit!
Nobody is going to use 1960s tech to build a base on the moon. Not to mention that those are literally history.
Someday a tourist will plant their foot right on top of Armstrong's first step and take a selfie while their friends chip pieces off the lander for souvenirs.
Why not? If you need x feet of wall to insulate against radiation, why toss some treated relics in with the soil mix?
