The cardboard doesnt cover the costs,however the cost plus the return is much cheaper for us than digging the dump holes to bury it in Unfortunately burning isnt allowed.

You need to value add, set a side a big area , wet the cardboard cover and get compost worms to eat it up, then sell the castings

Hi there Dylan,

I take all our off-cut copper wire to Smith's Metal in Malaga. I've seen Batteries there but don't have a clue on what they pay. Might be worthwhile to give them a call to check.

Cheers, Jurgens.

With that many batteries and if you can deliver I would ring around for the best price - saying you have approx??Kgs and can deliver?

Lead prices must have gone up, last time I looked into it they were only about 50cents each.
