battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the bat-
tery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have
already been paid by D WALT. In some areas, it is ille-
E
gal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environ-
mentally conscious alternative.
