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.
