Protecting the environment
Separate collection. This

waste.
Should you find one day that your

no further use to you, think of the
protection of the environment. Black &
Decker repair agents will accept old Black
& Decker tools and ensure that they are
disposed of in an environmentally safe
way.
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

from the household, at municipal waste
sites or by the retailer when you purchase
a new product.

collection and recycling of Black & Decker
