Try Batteryrecyclersofamerica.com 866.827.1830 I spoke to them last week and they will schedule a truck to pick them up after I have them on a pallet ready for shipment. Still waiting to find out what I need to do but I think it's just wrapping them in plastic, making sure not to include too much weight and possibly adding some decals. If they don't come thru I guess plan B might be to flush them, get the lead out, and make more bullets for my 45 long colt (ought to be several thousand rounds).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;color:#000000">Gary</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Aug 20, 2025 at 1:45\u202fPM jay via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">HI All<br>

I just got back from my local recycler. He won\u2019t take the GNB AGM batteries. <br>
He said his ultimate buyer in california won\u2019t buy them. <br>
<br>
Has any one else seen this?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
