Return of electronical equipment
The following notices are intended for private households which use electrical and/or electronic equipment. Please observe these important notices in the interest of the environmentally friendly disposal of waste equipment as well as your own safety.
1. Notices on the safe and proper disposal of electrical and electronic equipment and on the meaning of the symbol according to annex 3 of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG):
Owners of WEEE (waste electronic and electronic equipment) are required to dispose of it separately from unsorted household waste. WEEE must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and is not to be included with household waste. WEEE must be collected separately and disposed of such as via a local recycling facility.
Owners of WEEE must also remove waste batteries and accumulators, provided these are not enclosed in the WEEE, before disposing of the WEEE at a collection point. The latter does not apply insofar as the WEEE is separated according to section 14, paragraph 5, clauses 2 and 3 ElektroG as part of the public disposal authority’s opt-in to prepare WEEE for reuse, to then prepare it for such reuse.
Under annex 3 ElektroG, owners of WEEE can identify based on the symbol whether WEEE is to be disposed of separately from unsorted household waste at the end of its service life. The symbol for WEEE that is to be collected separately is represented by a crossed-out wheeled refuse bin with the following design:
