Really I've got about 5 in my garage.

Yep.  32p a kilo for lead/acid batteries.  £1.61 per kilo for brass (such as old brass fittings etc.)

I've weighed in three lots now (used to be 49p per kilo a year back when metals were pricier) but because I now have a relay this will reduce drastically.

I just drive up and give them to the non-ferrous metal weigh in clerk. He wants to see photo ID and gives you a "chit" which the girlie writes out a cheque for. All very above board and prufeshnial.
Subject to change.

I might weigh in my old unger optiloc aluminium poles  got from Peter Fogwill with my trolley system ten years ago!

For what it`s worth, a small tip for batteries, don`t leave them on the van floor they do not like the cold so get them up off the floor and onto a wood base. This is was told by my dads auto electrician years back. Even more so when recharging.
