I know my Father did it when he was a kid but he never let me do it, there are still some of the lead bricks he and his Brother made as well as some lead molded in various hubcaps. FWIW you could also set the entire car on fire and the lead from the seams would pool in the dirt below to be gathered up after you move the burned out shell.
They will also buy them back, why they charge you a “core charge” when you buy a battery and don’t have one to give them.
It was 14 years ago last time we hauled any to them.
Excide paid $255 for these back then. They must be worth quite a bit these days, I have seen the junk guys that pick up scrap metal put batteries inside the truck vs in the bed with the rest of the junk.
