Protecting the environment

Separate collection. This product
must not be disposed of with
normal household waste.
Should you find one day that your
Black & Decker product needs
replacement, or if it is of no further use
to you, do not dispose of it with
household waste. Make this product
available for separate collection.
Separate collection of used
products and packaging allows
materials to be recycled and
used again. Re-use of recycled
materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and
reduces the demand for raw
materials.
Local regulations may provide for
separate collection of electrical products
from the household, at municipal waste
sites or by the retailer when you
purchase a new product.
Black & Decker provides a facility for the
collection and recycling of Black & Decker
products once they have reached the end
of their working life. To take advantage
of this service please return your product
to any authorised repair agent who will
collect them on our behalf.
