Lead-acid batteries are among the most recycled products in America — over 99% of battery lead is recovered and reused. That recovery value is why scrap buyers pay real money for dead batteries: a standard 40-50 lb car battery brings $10-$15, and a 2,000-3,000 lb steel-case forklift battery can bring $500-$800 at today's price of roughly $0.25-$0.28/lb.

We buy batteries from auto shops, dealerships, fleet operators, warehouses, data centers, and telecom sites nationwide. For forklift and industrial batteries we handle all rigging and DOT-compliant transport — batteries must ship upright on pallets, and we take care of the logistics. Lead prices move with the LME market, so call 954-488-0700 to confirm today's price before you stockpile or ship.
