battery core charges..

[gus310]

i have 3 motorcycle batteries that are junk and was curious if i can turn them in for a cash core charge someplace or do you only get that when you buy a new one??

Only with a receipt for purchase that shows that you were charged the core charge.

i saw a guy in leominster offering $5 per battery, he must be turning them in somewhere for more right?

Try calling a metal recycling place..... and let me know. Selfishly I have a few batteries kicking around the house I'd love to get rid of too.

Thanks,

I don't even bother with core charges. I just bring my spent ones to Batteries Plus in Manchland and I'm done with it...

Yes they are worth money, atleast $5.00 apiece for the small motorcyle/riding mower batteries, look up recycle yards around your area, the regulars will get a better price per pound, so don't let them tell you they are only worth $3. Everything is negotiable.
If they don't recognize you, they will try to tell you its a flat rate price, not true, all batteries don't wiegh the same. Group 27 is heavier than group 25 by a few pounds. And lead is on the top of the list @ like 85 percent recycleable in batteries.
