Default Old car batteries

I have a few old car batteries stacked up on the drive and was going to give them to the local scrap van man that comes round but one of my neighbours said they was worth a few quid each at the scrap yard
Any one know what they are worth ?

They always used to be worth a bit for recycling. Halfords used to stock something to give them a bit more life. It was called "Revolt"!
