industry program to collect and recycle
nickel-cadmium batteries at the end of their
useful life, when taken out of service within
the United States. The RBRC

program
provides a convenient alternative to placing
used nickel-cadmium batteries into the trash or
municipal waste stream, which is illegal in
some areas.

program, Uniden makes
it easy for you to drop off the used battery at
local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium
batteries. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to
return the used battery.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information
on Ni-Cd battery recycling in your area.
Uniden’s involvement in this program is part of
its commitment to protecting our environment
