Recycling Battery Programs

Black & Decker is the marketplace leader for quality battery-powered outdoor products. To provide consumers with a positive environment choice, we support the collection and recycling of rechargeable batteries.

Black & Decker helped create and belongs to the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association (PRBA) www.prba.org and supports the activities of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) www.rbrc.org a not-for-profit company established for the purpose of collecting and recycling rechargeable batteries within the U.S. and Canada.

Through the RBRC, rechargeable batteries are collected and sent to facilities where they are processed to reclaim reusable materials that are used in stainless steel production and to make new batteries. Black & Decker and other participants pay for the cost of this collection and recycling effort so that there is no cost to the consumer.
