The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-
cadmium or lithium-ion 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
or lithium-ion 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 or lithium-ion batteries.
Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent
batteries to an authorized BLACK+DECKER 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, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. NOTE: Batteries are integrated
into the tool and should not be removed. To recycle, return the tool to an authorized
BLACK+DECKER service center.
