New to Scrap Metal

We have access to many lead acid cores from Golf Cart Batteries in Costa RIca but no one to purchase. Any interest?

If you can fill a shipping container, do all the safety paperwork and send it to China.
You will get some good money for it.

I get 1/2 the price for my battery's (NewZealand $0.30cents a Kg)
that sellers at the larger city's get (NZ$0.60cents/kg)
simply because I am 'one step further away' from the 'shipping container to China'.

So yeah, Leads a environmental disaster if its sitting around doing nothing.
Metal prices are low.
People with battery's want to get rid of them, environmental aspects.
They know they are going to get almost nothing for them.

But....
If you can fill a shipping container. And send it to China... You can make some real sweet money from it.
So, how much battery's do you have weight wise? Will it fill most of a shipping container?

shipping to china or asia probably best bet...they sell in the states but shipping would be considered hazardous material...lotta paperwork....they are filled with sulphuric acid...but they are heavy thats for sure
