ironplanet uk900 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Get lots of people asking us for our old watch batteries! What are they worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not a lot, unless youv'e got kilo's of them!! If you use LBS get them to send you a recycling tub out, it comes with an APC overnight delivery bag. When it's full you ring the number on the tub and they come and collect, then set against your account. Can't remember how much a full tub was worth, but all helps and more than the old pikeys through the door will give you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inscriptio Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Maplins also collect and pay cash or give you 377 batteries they call about 12 to 24 months we usually get about £ 40.00 or more in batteries also you get the transfer of waste form to show they have been disposed of properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakeemz Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 batteries being SILVER OXIDE..have literally silver in them..which is extracted from used batteries and recycled..so if you have lots of them they are worth a lot and vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 They don't sell for as much as they used to, but I think we got something like £15 a kilo for the last lot (£30 a kilo in 2012). It is only the silver watch batteries that they want though, everything else get taken to the tip and put in the battery recycling bin.

Ian platt Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Anyone got a contact for anyone who buys used silver batteries? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 We sell ours to Exmet - 01329 834939. He came round the other day and paid £26 per kilo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Of course LBS also offer a recycling service, but I don't know how much they pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
