Same for me. My local metals recycler *buys* the batteries from all
the local stores. If I take them there directly and avoid the
middlemen, I get more from them. It was about $5 per battery the last
time I went (and a bit more for golf cart batteries; they pay by the
pound)
Last time I sold lead batteries, a year or two ago, the
salvage/recycling yard paid about $25 for GCs, about 50 pounds. Battery
retailers were paying about $9 for any size "core" batteries. Around
here, it is worth your while to save your heavy batteries for the
salvage yard and use your lawn mower batteries to avoid the core charge
on new batteries.
