Reply With QuoteNot sure by your price would be better if you stripped the lead out.
Disposing of the acid would be hard. I have a mate who is a scrappy if you need more info.

SubscriberAnyone know the current price per kg of lead?
Just did a quick count and I have over 1500kg of batteries.
Who are the good scrap recyclers in perth?

Broke down a couple of batteries last year. Bugger all lead in them, other than the terminals.

Your batteries actually probably contain something around 65% lead sulphate and a lead/selenium/antimony alloy.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

Dylan,the scrappie that picks up the batteries at our tip pays us $1.00 each.One of the blokes at work collects them,he takes them to a scrappie yard in Mandurah,gets $3.00ea.

SupporterMore info,
You may get up to $300 per tonne for batteries in Perth. It used to be $500. For this price you would need to deliver to a yard.
Not really worth it.

It is if you are keeping them out of the environment and they are getting recycled
We press all the cardboard at the tip.It costs labour to press it and eventually load it in our trucks,then there is the cost of taking it to the city.
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

They do,that is why I mentioned the $1.00 battery picked up/$3.00 delivered to a scrappie.Everything costs unfortunately.In that case, they should come and pick them up.
