Battery Recycling and the RBRC

Seal //_'X
The RBRC
TM
(Rechargeab]e Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or

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 nickeeqadmium 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
lO
facilitate the collection of spent nickebcadmium batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickebcadmium battery to an authorized
Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycfing.
You may also contact your local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
