This is awesome! I am really excited that you're making a little extra cash, but more importantly, you are recycling and taking the batteries to the proper place. Those things canNOT just got into the average landfill, so thanks for being responsible and getting rewarded for it.

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!

The place I am going to pays per pound or $5.00 per battery. I just got back from my run today. I made $57 dollars today in about 1 hour time.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I do like the $$, but I like that lead not going into the landfill also, Beale.
