The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride
or 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 Craftsman. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent
nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream
and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with Craftsman and other battery users, has established the program in the United States
and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help protect
our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries to an authorized 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. RBRC® is a registered trademark of Call 2 Recycle, Inc.
For assistance with your product, visit our website www.craftsman.com for the location of the service center nearest
you or call the Craftsman helpline at: 888-331-4569.
