Should you find one day that your
Black & Decker product needs
replacement, or if it is of no further use
to you, do not dispose of it with
household waste. Make this product
available for separate collection.
Separate collection of used
products and packaging allows
materials to be recycled and
used again. Re-use of recycled
materials helps prevent
environmental pollution and
reduces the demand for raw
materials.
Local regulations may provide for separate
collection of electrical products from the
household, at municipal waste sites or by
the retailer when you purchase a new
product.
Black & Decker provides a facility for the
collection and recycling of Black & Decker
