When you weigh batteries in do you have to drain them first or will the scrap yard take them as they are.Only asking as i have a few and can get a fair few from work.Old lorry ones.

don't drain them if you get caught dumping the acid you are in the poo, taking them to a scrappy to weigh in doesnt necissarily give a garage the correct paperwork for disposal, current price for batteries is £420/ton in doncaster (i weigh in daily)

I've had trouble in the past turning up in a signwritten works van and been turned away. I've heard of this happening loads in Edinburgh, there's a trade waste scheme that costs an arm and a leg so they even banned hired vans from the public recycling centres by stating that any sign written or liveried vehicle wasn't allowed onsite. The other side of the coin is that only signwritten vans can take advantage of kerbside loading zones in some parts of the city centre. I know a boy who has magnetic panel signs for obvious reasons. |

I wonder how much you'd get if you dismantled a battery (which had no acid in it because it got cracked previously of course) and weighed only the lead in?

Batteries are weighing between £200-£400 per tonne, depending where you take them. We sell ours to the travellers who come around regular for about 3 quid a piece Be careful doing that mate, if the travellers can't give you the proper disposal paperwork for the batteries and you get caught you may well end up in trouble. Only if your company is heading toward ISO9001 World Class Manufacture ect. |
