Consumers have the option to return an old device free of charge to a
distributor who is obliged to take it back if they purchase an equivalent
new device with essentially the same function. This option also exists for
deliveries to a private household. In the case of distance selling retai-
lers, the option of free collection when purchasing a new appliance is
limited to heat exchangers, display screen devices, and large applian-

Some of the possible contents, such as mercury, cadmium
and lead, are poisonous and, if not disposed of properly, endanger the
environment. Heavy metals, for example, can have harmful effects on
the health of humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the en-
