Used And Scrap Batteries Buy And Sell

Used And Scrap Batteries Buy And Sell

I mostly got these batteries by seeing and asking for them. New cars wreck batteries pretty quick because the car computer never really turns off. So if the car isn't driven regularly it'll over-discharge and sulfate the battery.

 They give me their dead batteries also.

I picked up a few behind service stations and parts stores where people had orphaned them. A few came from my marina next to the dumpster, more came from the marine supply store. I told them I was experimenting with desulfating batteries and they told me to help myself to their scrap pile. Some came back to life from various magic treatments and I gave them to friends or built them into projects.

I finally got around to taking the bad ones to the scrapyard and damn! 
Here's what the robo-cashier at the scrapyard gave me for my load of toxic waste!
Batteries are worth real money now, if you can find the right buyer.

The market goes up and down. Right now the dollar is low and China and India are buying scrap like crazy to sell it back to us as products. That drives up scrap values. Our military shooting and attracting bullets all over the world doesn't hurt the value of lead either. Check the values online or in your paper, if it has a commodity markets listing.
You'll get less than this, because you're not selling a train car full. Unlike retail economics, in collection economics smaller quantities are worth less per pound.
If you're in a city with a port that ships to China, expect to get a higher price than elsewhere.
If you have a huge quantity, bargain up for a higher price. The yards that load ships won't usually bother with you unless you've got truckloads, but if you do, they'll pay accordingly higher.
"TL" means "Truck Load". "LTL" means "Less than Truckload".

If you run into a scavenger with a truck or a shopping cart full of cans, ask them what the best places are to sell different kinds of scrap. 

Now call those places, other local scrapyards and recyclers and ask them if they buy what you have and how much they pay.
Within 5 miles of me (and the port of Oakland) I heard prices ranging from 
"No", a battery", "fifteen cents a pound" and "twenty cents a pound". 
They're allowed to offer you whatever they want. It's a business and they have expenses.
They'll ask you how much you have. If you say you have more, they may offer a better rate.

Stop at the scrapyard office and ask them what to do. We waited in a line of other trucks for a while til one of those guys told us that since we just had batteries, we could drive right in. 

Once inside the yard, they had us load our batteries on a cart, push the cart onto a scale. 
They asked me for ID, my address, and had me sign a form promising that I was the lawful owner of the stuff I was selling them. There's been a big problem in the city with "copper miners" stealing metal wires, pipes, etc. to recycle for money, so there's a law requiring this form. 
Then they printed me a reciept with a barcode at the bottom. 

"Behind the woman in yellow is a little room like a closet. Scan the barcode there and the ATM will give you your money. You'll get the dollars, but you won't get the coins." 

Here's the ATM, and the sign saying that they'll write you a check for the coins if you really want them to. 
I hadn't looked at the reciept, so I was pretty amazed when hundred dollar bills started spewing out of the machine. I guess those batteries weighed more than I thought they would.

I was very surprised, and pissed, to find how very little I was being given to current, soon to be ex, battery buyer. I don't mind someone making some money, but I don't like getting ripped off. And docking  for batteries with a brake in the side of it, called three different buyers yesterday and none of em did that either.Scrap yards usually won’t accept other types of batteries, as they are too difficult to scrap. On the iScrap App you can locate and contact scrap yards anywhere in your area and get the latest battery prices for your batteries for scrap. Scrap yards generally do not want lead battery that are leaking or may have the potential to break open so they can maintain a safe working environment.

Car and truck batteries normally weigh between 30 and 75 pounds and are always a great way to make a couple of extra dollars when you are going to cash your material in
