14. Disposal
a) Product
This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU
market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as unsorted
municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose of it
separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, which are
not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from the WEEE in a non-
destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the WEEE in a non-destructive
manner before it is handed over to a collection point.
Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of
waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):
• in our Conrad offices
• at the Conrad collection points
• at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by
manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in
countries outside of Germany.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from the product.
According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return all spent batteries/
rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal household waste.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with
this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations
for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on
(rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or
wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to
environmental protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuit and their
exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty
batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch
fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
