does anyone know a company in or around i can weigh in a load of lead acid truck sized batteries? i've got 50-60 cluttering up my workshop and i'd like to get rid of them and make a few quid for the techies beer fund.only down side is i have to prove that they went to a legit recycling firm,so i'll need receipts and/or certificates etc.i know travellers weigh em in for cash but everyone i spoke to wants me to pay them,and that cant be right,can it?

Took a load in last week 80P each cos for some reason the place i go to doesn't weigh batterys just gives you 10Kg for each BUT if you have a large battery they count it as 2 ? lorry batterys the count as 3, strange.
I think all frag yards give out recipts nowdays, even the little back yard one near me does ?

If you have a lot you can arrange collection through a company that specializes in it. We have a big plastic pallet sized thing at work which gets collected when we fill it, with about 50 car sized batteries, and as far as I know we get a fair few quid for it (£100+)
It must be worth something because we have had a number of people with large wagons pretending to be from whoever is supposed to take them, trying to take the load.
