Battery Recycling and 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.
