Hmm, old car batteries are worth money at the local auto stores here. $10? $5? Still surprise people would dump them instead of collecting.

@ai6yr Tom and Ray Magliozzi talked about this several times over the years
@autolycos They were GREAT, lol.
wasn't this called a CORE charge and you got cash?
@kajer Well, if you're trading it in AND buying a new battery, it's CORE and you get $20 instead of $10.
@ai6yr kind of heavy to carry on a bicycle, but now the DUI guys are falling off of ebikes so, environmental progress maybe?*

"Recycle Your Car Battery At O’Reilly & Get a $10 Gift Card
Not only can we recycle batteries, but recycling an undamaged* car battery can earn you a $10 O’Reilly Auto Parts gift card. Simply bring in a qualifying battery that is not a core return from a previous purchase, and trade in a dead car battery for a $10 gift card toward your next purchase at O’Reilly. It’s important to note that there is a limit of 5 batteries that can be recycled per day per customer, except in Florida and California. Florida customers may recycle 2 batteries per day, whereas California customers have a limit of 6 batteries recycled per day. Make the most of a non-working, non-core battery by bringing your old car battery to a local O’Reilly Auto Parts. We can correctly dispose of car batteries, and you can earn a $10 gift card toward your next project or repair."
