If you live near a college campus, check out their recycling center or campus surplus. Lots of IT departments just toss UPS when they upgrade equipment regardless of battery status. I like to grab APC ones because the battery replacements are easy to find and there's usually a YouTube video for the exact model with someone refurbing it.
Do not disassemble a UPS for any reason. That is a good way to die.
If you are just wiping it down and changing the battery that is fine but don't do more than that.
