A customer says they discovered a way to get money back for old batteries instead of just dropping them off for recycling.
River City Wheels (@ingridfallin), which rents mobility scooters and wheelchairs throughout San Antonio, Texas, shared the tip on TikTok after taking several used batteries to O’Reilly Auto Parts.
“Did you know that O’Reilly will give you $10 for every single battery” that you recycle through them, the woman asked in their clip.
In the video, the woman with River City Wheels shows what looks like two $50 gift cards they received after bringing in old batteries.
She shared the PSA for other mobility scooter companies “that are constantly buying batteries and thinking you’re doing the environment a favor by taking them to Home Depot or someplace like that,” encouraging them to consider O’Reilly instead.
