I dont really drive much, whenever I need a car battery I take the old one down to the machine shop and trade it for one that somebody got replaced because it was old but still works. They don't care cause they're just turning them in for the core deposit anyway and it doesn't matter if the battery works.
Couple months back I found like 10 car batteries in somebodys dumpster of a house that tore down their garage. Made like $120 bucks. If you buy a battery from a lot of chain stores it's got a $5 core deposit but the scrap yard will give you $12-$14 for it.
IIN that I save computers or laptops people throw away?
