                Batteries Can Be Big Money


                Old batteries often spend years sitting in storage collecting dust. Why not clean your home and make some extra money at the same time? By selling old batteries to a salvage yard, you can do just that. Whether you are trying to make a quick buck or just want to clean out your garage, read the tips below to learn how to sell batteries to a recycling location successfully.

                Check the Market Price

                Used car batteries are bought for their lead cores, which can be used for a variety of other products. Much like everything else, the price of lead fluctuates from time to time. The amount of money you can get from the batteries depends on the current market price of lead scrap. Check online to see the current value at the time when you’re planning to sell.

Finding unwanted batteries may be easier than you think. Talk to your friends, post an ad online offering to dispose of old batteries for free, or visit a local mechanic. You may be surprised at how quickly you can collect additional scrap batteries to sell.

                Choose a Recycling Yard

                Once you have your batteries and an estimate of how much money you’ll make, you can begin looking for salvage yards in your area.
