Owners of waste electrical and electronic devices must dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste.

Meaning of the symbol „crossed-out trash can“

The crossed-out garbage can symbol regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment and batteries indicates that the respective device must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste

Batteries, accumulators and lamps

Spent batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the waste equipment, as well as lamps that can be non-destructively removed from the waste equipment, have to be separated from the waste equipment before handing it in at a collection point.
If the waste equipment is to be prepared for reuse with the participation of a public waste management authority, batteries and accumulators as well as lamps do not have to be removed.
For the disposal of batteries and accumulators, please also observe the following information on the battery law

Deletion of data

Old devices may contain personal data. In your own interest, please note that you, as the end user, are responsible for deleting the personal data on the old devices to be disposed of before handing them in.

Options for the return of old devices

Owners of old devices from private households can hand them in free of charge at the local collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or at the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors.

Distributors of electrical and electronic devices are obligated to take back old devices free of charge in accordance with § 17 Sections 1 and 2 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG). The take-back process is as follows:
Distributors with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and electronic equipment and distributors of groceries with a total sales area of at least 800 m² who offer electrical and electronic equipment several times per calendar year or on a permanent basis and make it available on the market are subject to the obligation to take the devices back. This applies in the case of distribution using means of distance selling (e.g. online retailers), with the stipulation that the relevant floorspace depends on the storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic equipment. Distributors subject to the take-back obligation must,

• when supplying a new electric or electronic device to an end-user, take back free of charge an end-user‘s old device of the same type that fulfills essentially the same functions as the new device at the place of supply or in the immediate vicinity thereof. If the device is delivered to a private household, the consumer may demand the collection of the old device at that location. Disposal instructions EN 8 In the case of distribution using means of distance selling (e.g. online store), free collection is limited to electrical and electronic equipment in categories 1, 2 and 4, namely “heat exchanger”, “Screens, monitors and devices containing screens with a surface area greater than 100 square centimeters” or “large equipment” (the latter with at least one external dimension over 50 centimeters). For equipment in categories 3, 5 and 6, the distributor must ensure suitable return options within a reasonable distance from the respective end user.
• at the request of the end user, take back free of charge at the retail outlet, or in the immediate vicinity thereof, waste equipment that does not exceed 25 cm in any external dimension; take-back must not be linked to the purchase of an electrical or electronic device and is limited to three old devices per type of device. In the case of distribution using means of distance selling, the distributor must ensure appropriate return options at a reasonable distance from the respective end user

BATTERIES/ACCUMULATOR

Information according to the German battery law (BatterieG)

Ingredients of batteries (e.g. chemicals) can damage the environment and health if not stored and disposed of properly. In particular, lithium-con taining batteries must be handled with care due to the special risks, e.g. fire hazard or risk of ingestion with button cells. At the same time, recyclable raw materials may also be included. Batteries must therefore not be disposed of with normal household waste. Separate collection can enable the recycling of raw materials; it also avoids negative impacts on the environment and human health due to the release of hazardous substances. As the end user, you are legally obligated to return used batteries.

You can return batteries after use free of charge to a retail store or to designated collection points (e.g. public collection points in your community or in stores). You can also return the batteries to the seller via mail, observing the dangerous goods regulations if applicable

The disposal in retail stores is limited to used batteries that the distributor carries or has carried in his product range in quantities customary for disposal by end users

The symbol with the crossed-out garbage can reminds you that you must not dispose of batteries in municipal waste. Below this sign you may find additional symbols with the following meaning regarding content materials:

Pb = Battery contains more than 0.004 percent lead by mass,
Cd = Battery contains more than 0.002 percent cadmium by mass,
Hg = Battery contains more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass

To avoid littering and to reduce waste, it is recommended to use rechargeable batteries or batteries with a long service life. Long operational time of electrical and electronic equipment is made possible using replaceable accumulators. Littering of public spaces can be avoided by disposing of batteries correctly. It may also be possible to reuse a battery instead of disposing of it, for example by reconditioning or refurbishing the battery. In addition, equipment and accumulators can also be prepared for reuse, for example, by replacing or refurbishing the accumulators
