You have to call around to different shops / yards in your area. A car battery can sell for $2 - $5 in my area, but this price can be different were you are at.Originally Posted by JulieBK

Took a pair to Autozone, got $10 each in store credit.

In my area, South East Ma, I call Battery Dave 508-345-0762
He picks them up from me and pays $7.00 each

General location and rough quantities may help with suggestions
Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

I'm guessing this person is just looking for information to write a paper.

I've been meaning to ask Mikeinreco about the person he helped with a school project recently. Did they ever contact you and let you know how their project came out?

Gosh.. prices have tanked where you are. When I used to recycle cars I was getting between $12 and $14 per battery!
OUCH!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

They pay by the pound here. 20 to 25 cents a pound is average for here and that's for the last 4 or 5 years.
