Peelie72 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yes there are folk who take away your old batteries. Yes there seems to be "recycling" deposit bins at a few locations around CM. Batteries are now highly recyclable in the west, there's a lucrative industry for it, but what really happens to old motive lead acid batteries here? Are their materials recycled or are they perhaps only stripped of their lead and the toxic acid dumped irresponsibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Recycling places pay for car batteries, hundreds of baht each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 They are cut open , lead recycled, God only knows where the acid ends up,should be recycled too ,but .... When you buy a new car battery,the shop usually offers you 200-300 THB for your old one. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
