Quick question, if I would say pack up the truck and head to Mexico ($5 a day labor) could I pay people to sort the alkaline batteries from the other batteries, sell the other ones, and then with the alkaline (90%+ of the batteries) pay the cheap labor to break apart the batteries with hammers and then separate the steel from the zinc/manganese with magnets? From what I can understand is they shred the batteries and then separate the materials with a magnet, so same process just a heck of a lot cheaper to start.

Thoughts?
