Anyone ever tackle one of these before?

They obviously have no idea what they are doing then. There is multiple yards all around me, and not one has that requirement. Acid of any kind is a very dangerous business, so I would not recommend it.

I don't know what the yards do with them, but what I can say is this. My yard pays me a flat rate depending on the size. From there, it gets loaded onto a pallet, and as the pallet goes, it gets shrink wrapped. Then sent to their main plant in DC somewhere for processing.

Alrighty. Look at InjunJoe's question to MattChance. Then look at Matt's response, then look at Matt's avatar, and then think about it for a minute. It was a joke people, a joke!

I got that it was a joke.

However, not everyone has common sense, and the last thing anyone needs is to read on the news or internet about some guy or woman trying to empty out battery acid.
