What do you do with old batteries?

I recently took 7 old lead acid car batteries to my local scrap yard and got £91 for my troubles.

Thats exactly what I did in the UK, and exactly what I do here. No point whatsoever in taking them to the tip and getting nothing for them, when they can be taken somewhere they will be bought.
 
bring them all to me, ha ha
 
Start filling them right up with water & they won't be good money for long. Same as people who fill pieces of pipe with sand & flatten the ends. Scrap is reasonable money & good return for what is essentially "rubbish" to yo, why spoil the job just to try & make a few extra pennies?
chill! It was a joke, I wouldn’t attempt to pry a few pennies extra.
 
Not that I don’t like a good joke, but if I can just interject for a moment, I had a 12v 20ah motor bike battery that went duff, a friend said to me get a Leicestercn battery charger from Amazon £38.95, it actually has brought the battery back from the grave, and still holding a charge after a week
