The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery pack indicates
that this product is voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle these battery packs 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 spent nickel-cadmium battery packs into the trash or
municipal waste stream which is illegal in some areas.
The RBRC™program makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery pack at
local retailers of replacement nickel-cadmium batteries. You may also contact
your local recycling center for information on where to return the spent battery
pack.
RBRC™ is a trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation..
