The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp
oration) 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 D
E
WALT. 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.
RBRC in cooperation with D
E
WALT and other battery users, has
established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of
spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium
battery to an authorized D
E
WALT 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.
