Disposal instructions for waste electrical equipment

Dispose of old electrical appliances in an environmentally friendly way!

Electrical appliances are marked with the following symbol, which means that old electrical appliances must not be disposed of with household waste:

Electrical appliances contain valuable resources and harmful substances. Every consumer is therefore legally obliged to dispose of old electrical appliances at an approved collection or take-back point, for example at the local recycling center. Waste electrical and electronic equipment is accepted there free of charge and recycled in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner.

Old electrical appliances with an edge length of up to 25 cm can be returned free of charge wherever comparable products are sold - regardless of where they were purchased and regardless of brand and type.

The prerequisite for taking back old electrical appliances with an edge length greater than 25 cm is that a new appliance has been purchased from the retailer and that this can be proven by presenting a corresponding proof of purchase.

Disposal instructions for batteries

Dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly manner

Batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) are marked with the following symbol, which means that they must not be disposed of with household waste:

Batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) contain valuable resources and harmful substances. Every consumer is therefore legally obliged to dispose of used batteries and accumulators at an authorized collection point. This ensures that they are recycled in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge wherever similar products are sold, regardless of where they were purchased and regardless of brand and type. In the case of high-performance batteries (e.g. cell phone and laptop batteries), please tape the terminals before handing them in at the collection point to avoid short circuits. Defective batteries can also be handed in free of charge at the collection point for hazardous waste at the local recycling center.

Disposal instructions for packaging

All packaging is licensed with a dual system in accordance with the provisions of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG) and can therefore be recycled free of charge via the local recycling collection system (paper garbage can, yellow bin/yellow bag, etc.).
