    same deal for oil recycling https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/services/in-store-services…

    • Chocobros on 06/05/2023 - 14:37

      Thx for this

    • montorola on 06/05/2023 - 15:36

      Awesome, ends 31/05 so will do an oil change before then.

      Cheers mate!

    • sh4hp on 06/05/2023 - 16:03

      Great. I've got 3 bottles just sitting there.

      Stuff that, my local recycling joint lets you pour out your oil and keep the containers.

      Not every store takes used oil now. Even that ones that supposedly do the employees are so lazy they’ll find some excuse to turn you away. They no longer have the bins out front, you have to go into the store. I went to 3 supercheap stores on a Sunday once and the excuses were “we are full” “we can’t take anything bigger than 5L containers” and “we are not allowed to take them now”. Total waste of time.

      • Clexor on 07/05/2023 - 17:28

        Ours had to move the bin out back because some absolute deadshit tipped the oil straight in the skip bin. Poor employees have to walk all the way from the front to the back now. I've dropped off a 20L bottle filled to like 12L before and 2 5L at a time. They don't make excuses up.

      It's crazy. I spilt my old car batteries open with an axe and put over the fire pit to melt it down, then I make lead stuff out if it

        Be careful of the fumes mate lead as you know is pretty toxic.

            @wisdomtooth: Fluoride isn't that clear, there are many water sources that have fluoride in them which people have been using for generations with little ill effects.

            Nevertheless, Fluoride only benefits teeth when it directly interacts with the surface of bone, there is no benefit to add it to drinking water if you use toothpaste

      yeah, this is crap. For $5 I need to go in twice.

    what's the going rate from a battery recycler? I think I remember getting about $5-10 per car battery, they recycle the acid to use for tanning leather I was told & the lead is valuable too

    • competitions on 06/05/2023 - 15:09

      Dunno, I looked online locally and could find no details. FYI, the SCA page states:

      Simply take your used battery to any of our stores, and your lead acid battery will be recycled by Century Yuasa free of charge

    • Binchicken22 on 06/05/2023 - 15:12

      Yeah you'll get about between $5-15 per battery at a recycler

      • MS Paint on 06/05/2023 - 15:15
        +6

        Yep. I normally wait until I've got 10 batteries and sell them all to "my guy" for $100. He even picks them up. He also gives me between $150 and $270 for catalytic converters.

        • Clear on 06/05/2023 - 16:09

          You should see if he gets old PC parts. My guy will give me $1 per kilo of HDDs (without platters). More money to be made if they're even more disassembled.

          I get a hundred or so every year that need to be destroyed.

    • tunzafun001 on 06/05/2023 - 21:55

      I got $4.70 for my 14yr old battery. I then bought one of the other 'scrap' batteries for $12….which is where my original 14 yr old battery came from.

      Forgot to take a load tester. So just shorted the terminals and took a voltage reading. Battery was showing 12.55v when shorted….. Take my money….see you in 14 yrs!

      Was quite a few 12.5v + (fair chance they would all be fine).
      * Disclaimer - dont do this if you dont know what you are doing, might burn yourself or blow the battery up ..there will be sparks.

        Landfill

    • greatlamp on 06/05/2023 - 20:41

      Landfill will pick them out for recycling, there's more than $5 in a car battery

  • CVonC on 06/05/2023 - 15:15

    Finally I got rid of my 6 year old OEM Ford stop-start battery that I replaced back in November with a Century.

    Credit gets applied on the first of each month apparently. Little bit annoying cos I just recycled my oil last month. Was hoping the credit would stack.

    • Irishness on 06/05/2023 - 16:01

      but you do get credit for both just you didn't do in same month?

      • CVonC on 06/05/2023 - 21:36

        Yeah should do

    If I remember correctly Repco do $30 trade in if you are buying new battery and they will recycle.
    Not sure if they still have this

    • Hirolol on 06/05/2023 - 17:36

      Yup just traded in my dead battery for $30 off last month.

  • montorola on 06/05/2023 - 15:37

    Guys, is this valid for just car batteries or can I recycle a motorcycle battery and get credit too?

  • Shamcat on 06/05/2023 - 16:47

    No thanks, I'll just keep throwing my car batteries into the ocean. It's safe and legal.

    Anything to get for $5 at Supercheap? 2 trips for $5 which seems not much comparing to JB's perk. Still good for recycling purposes

      Neg not valid. Link to where a current Repco battery trade $ in is? 2nd one had no specifics. 3rd one could be either the user didn't buy when the offer was on or didn't ask.

    $5 Supercheap? They then turn around and makes double when they take to the metal recycles.

    2 weeks ago some scrap my 14yr old son had collected for pocket money we took to the metal recycling,

    1x Lawn mower battery $6,
    3x Standard car batteries $27,
    1x Larger 4x4 type batteries $14,
    2x larger damaged alloy car rims $36

    This was at a Sims metal recycling there are heaps all over we are in regional Victoria so due to transport costs we might get less than city prices.

    Metal prices supposedly go in cycles depending how urgent it is to fill ships for export though that info is about 15 years old how they operate may have changed.

    The only way metal, batteries etc ends up in landfill is if you hide it in your load of rubbish. Tips want your metal they can make good money.

    • love2buy on 07/05/2023 - 11:33

      I don't think they are making money. Why would they put limitations on you returning them if they are?

      • Irishness on 07/05/2023 - 14:23
        +1

        you would imagine they could make money on them however if they are going to the Century Yuasa recycling scheme then I doubt they are

  • Cave Fire on 28/05/2023 - 16:08

    used epsom salts on my sealed battery and lasted another 18 months. tried again and blockage somewhere. Was recommended to buy $13 sulfuric (sold at supercheap etc) as an option, as it doesn't eat amps. So clean with epsom salts + baking soda, rinse, then use the sulfuric + overnight charges. Very dangerous, so take appropriate safety and disposal procedures. Found a local seller for $60 new/remanned batts after all this…

  • Junk Sifter on 04/06/2023 - 17:22

    I got $5 credit on 2/6/23 for recycling oil but not yet for the battery. Has anyone received both credits yet?
