Thomas asks…
Can I earn money for recycling household batteries just like the cans.?
Where to recycle those household batteries
The Expert answers:
I don’t know about making money off recycling batteries but here are a couple of sources for information on locations. Call2Recycle for locations at 1-877-2-recycle and also you can contact the Battery Council International. Also I have seen drop off boxes at Home
Depot and Lowe’s.
In the recycling process, spent—or dead—batteries are broken apart, and the lead, plastic and acid are separated. The lead is melted, poured into ingots and delivered to battery plants to be used in new batteries. The plastic is chipped, washed and delivered to a plastics plant, where it is melted and made into new battery cases and other parts.
