Old car batteries?

[kythri]

I'm sure specifics will vary from locale to locale, but, in general, do you folks know of anyone who buys old car batteries?

I've got three of them that are toast.

New batteries always have core charges, so I'm hoping there's someplace I can take these and get a few bucks, instead of just free recycle.

I have a local scrap guy who pays $5 for junk batteries. You can probably check around and find someone.

 

[bas157]

check craigslist for people buying them.

I get 10 a car battery, 15 for large car/ truck, 25 for semi/tractor battery.

Places like Interstate or All-Pak will give you at least $6 each for car batteries. Bigger ones will get you more money. Do NOT throw them away.

Re-Cycle and put some money in your pocket!

Autozone will give you a $5 gift card for each one. I keep em around incase I need a core as a core charge is $12

Throw em' in the lake*
















*Just kidding!*
I keep a couple around for core turn ins when I find a good one that just needs a charge.

prices for used batteries are all over the place around here, from a recycler that pays $1 ea, to a buyer on CL that pays $5-$8 ea.

i found a small out of the way scrap yard that pays by the pound.
last time i took some in they payed $0.24/lb

i had over 700 lbs in batteries ......

Autozone lost my business when they fired Devin McLean.

No worries about throwing them away - worst case scenario, they'll be properly recycled.

Thanks to all for the input, very much appreciated!

I have made at least 20 bucks off the jerkoffs that throw them in my woods off the highway! I get about 5 bucks each at the scrap yard.

Advance Auto gives $5. I sell mine to a golf cart place for $8.

Scrapyards will buy them up.

Last year I took in 500lbs of sealed gel cell wheelchair batts and got about 100 bucks.

I get $0.15/lb here in NJ..

 

[sensei_]

over this side of the world we get A$0.15/kg

i sold 2 car batteries for $5 and that is the best they pay.

I work in a wrecking yard in Portland Oregon. The guy that buys our core batteries pays $10.00 each, but we need to have 50 cores to get that price.

Sweet! And, local! I'm near the Albany one pretty regularly, and there's one nearly next door to my Corvallis office, now that I think of it.

Thanks!
