In the ocean? I like decent grandmas who want their car batteries properly d'esordio of.

Edit: disposed*

Yep, car batteries are mostly recyclable.

Lead acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate.

The youtube videos of the sweatshops in India/Pakistan where they do the recycling are riveting af.

The Florida reprocessing plant was an absolute mess. So many people were getting ridiculous exposure levels from that place and dying young.

I thought most grandmas knew that car batteries definitely belong in a beautiful blue ocean, especially ones with little to no car batteries. Is a life without throwing car batteries into the ocean even worth living? If you need someone to talk to, or even just to go throw car batteries into an ocean with HMU.
