The EPA certified RBRC® Battery
Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) battery indicates The Hoover
Company 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 alterna-
tive to placing used Ni-Cad batteries into
the trash or the municipal waste stream,
which may be illegal in your area. Please

program is part of our commitment to
preserving our environment and conserv-
