RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES MUST BE RECYCLED
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY
Uniden voluntarily participates in an RBRC®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 states.
Through the RBRC®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 more 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 and conserving
natural resources.
