THE RBRC® SEAL
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corp oration) Seal on the lithium-ion batteries
(or battery packs) indicates that the costs to
recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their
useful life have already been paid by BLACK+DECKER. In some
areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the
trash or municipal solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle®
program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
