    Metal scraper will pay more than that for a used car battery

    • eciuj on 09/11/2023 - 23:10

      How much so they typically pay? I think I have 3 old batteries.

      • Bretttick on 10/11/2023 - 01:17

        From memory $8

      • thomalfa on 10/11/2023 - 02:44

        Call up and ask… some weight them and pay per kg rate, and some buy per each

        • Chazzozz on 10/11/2023 - 06:39

          Metal recycling is not quite as lucrative any more. My local recycler only pays only 6¢-20¢ per kilo of metal, depending on type. It’s only worthwhile if you bring it in by the tonne.

      • Duc609 on 10/11/2023 - 07:16

        I get 65c a kg for the batteries.

        How much so they typically pay?

        Current rates are 45c-50c/kg.
        I've noticed a steady decline in scrap lead acid battery prices over the past 5 years. I'm assuming that as battery tech changes the demand for lead is going down.

        A big mofo battery out of a 4WD will get you about $8-$11.

        The SCA offer isn't that bad.

        • Jackson on 10/11/2023 - 12:49

          both my cars are going on 11 and 12 years on their current battery. used be lucky if I got 3-4 back in the day

          • thomalfa on 10/11/2023 - 19:42

            @Jackson: Is it a dry or wet battery?
            Normally wet life cycle is longer but 12 years is very good
            What are their brand that you’re using currently?

            • Jackson on 10/11/2023 - 21:47

              @thomalfa: One is the top of the range nrma battery for an 01 Camry, and the other is the OEM Nissan Leaf

      It's wordy but they mean the relevant recycling transaction must be recorded on your Club account for the $5 to be credited within 5 business days of the promo end date.

    So if I have a battery and oil I can get 2 x$5 credits or only one?

    • shoppe on 10/11/2023 - 23:33

      It says that you can get one, $5 battery credit and one, $5 oil credit. The maximum is one of each type. It doesn't say that $5 is the maximum you can claim, therefore it is probable (with a high certainty) that you can claim both, to get $10 credit.

      • Poor Ass on 10/11/2023 - 23:34

        Are you speaking from experience or just your interpretation ?

        • shoppe on 10/11/2023 - 23:39

          My interpretation. A battery credit is separate from an oil credit, but each is limited to one. It does state that you are entitled to $5 credit for each type.

  • USER DC on 09/11/2023 - 23:11

    Again sorry how to claim multiple $5 ?
    Go to different stores with different bottles (say half filled 5L oil bottles?) And each time tell them a different account number/email ???

  • Fuzor on 09/11/2023 - 23:19

    Is new engine oil made from used and recycled engine oil? Or they use it to make plastic products

      Is new engine oil made from used and recycled engine oil?

      When I worked at Goodyear 1982-1986 we sold all our waste oil (that included brake fluid, transmission oil, battery acid, cleaning solvent and coolant all in the same drum) to a recycler for 8c/litre.

      We bought it back as "new" oil for 25c/litre after some type of cleaning/filtering process. It's how we could do an oil & filter change for $10 (we could get oil filters from QH for 50c).

      I have no idea what the viscosity was or what oil specification it met but we put that crap into everything we serviced. I didn't find out until years after I left - not that I had any influence in these things.

    • yippy on 10/11/2023 - 05:45

      Doubt they will take all of that. Last time I brought in oil they asked how much i had before giving the ok to leave by the counter.

      You’re supposed to store bottles of used motor oil in the 40cm gap between the garage and fence, forever.

      • ripoffmerchant on 23/11/2023 - 08:42

        Have you been snooping around my house?!

    • spaceflight on 23/11/2023 - 07:34

      They will take more than 1 bottle, you will only get one $5 credit though.

    Some questions I had;

    Q1: What is a qualifying transaction ?
    Q2: Can I take 1x car battery and 1x oil bottle to my local SCA for recycling and get $10 credit as per this offer ?
    Q3: Does the offer limit us to 1x car battery, or can we recycle more than one battery until the promotion runs out ?
    Q4: Does the offer limit us to 1x engine oil bottle, or can we recycle more than one bottle until the promotion runs out ?

  • mrhugo on 10/11/2023 - 10:27

    Perfect timing got about 5.5L that I need to drop off.

  • Mick88 on 10/11/2023 - 10:36

    Anyone know if you get a receipt or anything to prove the transaction? I just dropped a battery at one of their NSW stores and they had no idea how to do it, they stuffed around for 10 minutes. I'm not confident it was done correctly

    • SmiTTy on 10/11/2023 - 12:04

      When I dropped it off this morning they had no idea either but showed them the website. They were okay with doing it, just didn't realise the promo was on.

      They took my membership details and after I got home I did get an electronic receipt for $0 for battery recycling via email. Maybe double check your email to see if u got this (mine came thru about an hour after drop off)

      • Mick88 on 10/11/2023 - 12:37

        I might have to call them. I dropped it off around 10am and haven't received anything via email. Thanks for the reply

    Took an old motorbike battery nto my local SCA store. They didn't know anything about it.
    Opened the OzB page and showed them the page link from the original posting.
    The womon offered me $5 cash, or $5 gift card.
    "Do you want it in cash, or gift card?"

    Me being too polite, I showed her where it says, gets credited to my club account at the end of the promotion period.

    I should have taken the cash or gift card, but I've already sinned enough today

    • Poor Ass on 11/11/2023 - 00:38

      Tell me about your sins

  • Livert on 19/11/2023 - 12:38

    Brought battery in for this today and store and store guy insisted it only applies if I purchased a battery at the same time. Had to get the manager to confirm no purchase was necessary. Hardly worth the inconvenience and annoyance to be honest.

    • Kranbone on 19/11/2023 - 23:29

      I did this a while ago and 2 of the staff just said leave the battery at the door and scan a QR code.

      All the QR code had was information about the offer. Apparently the staff have to key it in as a transaction against your club plus membership.

  • PleasureMe on 23/11/2023 - 20:17

    I have previously tried to take my old battery and oil to supercheap and was told they don’t accept it. Not sure if it’s just the one near me or it’s because the teen that served me had no idea.
