the RBRc™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)

Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the

costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have

already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place

spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the

RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established

programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-

cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by

returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service

center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling

center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BatteRY.
