Different kind of treasure.
Ok so most of you know I work at a hospital, on medical equipment. Well the hospital is installing new batteries in all the mobile nursing computers. These are Lead acid car size batteries. My department is doing the install.
I had read somewhere that recycle companies pay money for batteies. I saked my manager if I could have them, he said yes. I have made 2 trips to the place I found in the yellow pages. So far I have made $87.00 on about 15 batteries. We still have about 20 more machines to do. I am making another run Friday. This load should be around $40-50 bucks. All in all I have about 3 hours tied up in this, and the recycle place pays cash, Beale.
