Urban Battery Collector Playbook — Build a Local Salvage Route

Every city has stranded lithium — in repair shops, impound lots, and storage units. An urban collector connects those nodes to PassCell recycler demand without owning a refinery.

Source map

• Micromobility repair depots (weekly pickup)
• Apartment e-bike shops with abandoned packs
• Property managers clearing scooter impound
• Electronics recyclers with battery-only overflow

Operating rhythm

Collect until you hit a weight threshold (e.g., 200 kg), photograph the batch, list as one auction lot, reinvest payout into route fuel and storage.
