If you have car batteries, O'Reilys in Hilo takes them every day and they will PAY you $5 each. Likewise if you purchased a car battery at Costco in Kona and you didn't exchange at time of purchase they will give you $15 for your battery.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is a great day to get rid of things like used motor oil- I will be "donating' 6 quarts or so.
