I don't know where you are getting your information, BUT.... We have not been mining lead here for many years. It comes into the ports. I could not tell you how many loads of white lead I hauled from Dundalk, MD, New Haven, CT, and the Port of Albany in New York. But for sure it was more than 100. As I recall, a lot of it came from Chile. I delivered some to the Exide plant in Reading, PA and most of it to East Penn Manufacturing in Lyon Station, PA. East Penn makes Deka batteries as well as many other brands. The smelter for recycling used batteries was located at the Exide plant in Reading. I also delivered many loads of used batteries there. The smelter was shut down because it was simply WORN OUT!!! It was no longer safe to operate.
FYI, East Penn was in the process of building their own smelter the last I knew. Somehow I do not think that they would invest millions of dollars into something that was "illegal" so to speak.
Also, the price I get for used batteries is the highest it has been in many years. I even got over $5.00 for lawn tractor batteries that formerly paid NOTHING!! The last batch of batteries that I took in got me $14 each. I got $18 each for a pair of 31s I had. I haven't brought any in for a while, but as far as I know, the prices are still up while most other scrap is down.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
