    What do you have to pay for each battery in your part of the U.S.?



    I would suggest trying to cover cover the batteries up with a tarp, it's illegal to haul 10 or more batteries without proper paperwork, etc. as far I as I know.

    I've not been able to find anything that says how much you can haul. The only thing that I have ever found, says that because the EPA wants batteries to be recycled, the rules are a lot more relaxed. I have seen it refered to as " loose scrap", after you put them on a pallet and shrink wrap them, they become hazardous waste, and then it is a different game. Any information that anyone can provide that is more than hearsay, would be very much appreciated.

    I usually pay $5 for car batteries. Sometimes I don't pay at all.
