It's good stuff. Part of the process after unloading was to go the a sort 
of car wash for trucks where the trailer was pressure washed. Not only did 
the contamination need to be removed before the next load but the trailers 
are principally constructed from aluminum.

I don't know the economics of the process but there was enough money in it 
to pay the battery shops for the dead batteries, pay the cost to haul them 
1000 miles, and then the costs of the recycling process itself. I don't 
know if they did anything with the acid or if it was just the lead. Golf 
cart, forklift and similar units were weighed separately since the yield 
was higher.
