“The EPA certified RBRC
Battery Recycling Seal on the
nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)
battery indicates Robert
Bosch Tool Corporation is
voluntarily participating in an
industry program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC program provides a
convenient alterative to placing used Ni-Cd
batteries into the trash or the municipal
waste stream, which may be illegal in your
area.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information
on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal
bans/restrictions in your area, or return your
batteries to a Skil/Bosch/Dremel Service
Center for recycling. Robert Bosch Tool
Corporation’s involvement in this program is
part of our commitment to preserving our
environment and conserving our natural
resources.”

mended or sold by Skil may result in a risk
