Loaded a little over 4500 pounds of batteries today. Headed to the scrap yard tomorrow morning.
Not bad. You should make out pretty good on them. I have a pallet of batteries here don't know if I want to hold onto them or send them out as of yet. Let us know how you do on your batteries.
WOW, nice load, my yard has dropped down to .20 lb now, glad I dropped my price I pay to $ 4.00 ea. I'm just doubling my money on them. If my yard goes any lower then I'm gonna stock pile.
sweat baby jesus thats alot of batteries.
That is an impressive load Mick ! You got a good workout today !
That's what keeps him a lean mean fightin' machine,,,lolQuote:

I actually started loading yesterday and finished today. I have a 41hp tractor with pallet forks which helps a lot. You can see the pallets down the middle. I took it out on our road for a couple miles to see how it would handle. Did real good. I usually call Exide and they send a truck for them, but just decided to haul these to the scrap yard. Sorry, but I won't be posting the payout. I negotiated the price I'm selling for and not really applicable.
That is what I would call a wonderful load of Batteries.... wow... were they all in one location? Your load has to be approx 2- 1/4 Ton ? either way that's a heavy haul of lead for sure.
No, I bought them here and there. Usually 3-4 at a time. Some I got free. I've gotten as many as 116 at one place but that was another load. You see those deep cell ones (tall, light colored up front up)? I got 12 of those at once.Quote:

Plus a few Lawn and Garden batteries and computer backup batteries. So, I figured at least 4525 ( 2 1/4 tons) plus pallets and 4x4's I'm using for rails. Trailer Payload is 4980 pounds so I actually have some left.
Great haul! How much do you offer to pay for batteries if you don't mind me asking?Quote:

Sounds good. Wish my yard paid per pound, but sadly, they pay depending on size! If they paid per pound, I would stock pile.Quote:

All of my businesses our ran from my home. I use my in law's place to store my trailer, and any real big items I need to tear down, but the county officials (zoning, etc) drive around the city all the time looking for a reason to write up residents. As long as stuff is on my trailer, they don't care, but when I had a few washers and dryers sitting on the "land" so I could break them down, they gave me a warning.
Granting, I do whatever I want, because my father in law's doesn't care at all about them, but I like keeping the peace.
Been trying to find a vacant land or a small warehouse some where that has been abandoned for a while, and make the owner's some sort of deal, but can't seem to find anything.
about a 1300 dollar pay day not bad.
You're getting reamed hard if that's all you'd get out of it!!! Gee I must have a really good hookup on batteries LOLQuote:

We're down to .20 lb up here right now, probably go back up when warmer weather hits.
