Hi Bob,

3¢ per pound??  Wow!!!  That would be great here if it could really happen.
I have been taking to local recycle station and drop off.  $0.00 in
exchange.
Minus my gas that is.  I recently thought the scrap yard would take them for
a small bonus to me.  Nooooooo they don't want them.  They only take Lead
Acid (Car & Truck) batteries and then pay something a pound for them.

I presently have a large load (25 or so) that really need to go.
I will box them up and ship them to you.  You can keep 2¢ and just
send me the extra penny.  :-)
