Disposal
Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that
it can be recycled.
The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices
should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to
special collection and return systems.
Owners of used devices must remove from the used device any used batteries or
rechargeable batteries which are not encapsulated by the used device and can
be removed in a non-destructive way and dispose of them separately (see also
the section on battery disposal).
Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge
to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal
points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical
Equipment Act so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly
way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of
properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to
the health of humans, animals and plants. Businesses which market electrical
and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices.
(Rechargeable) batteries must not be disposed of along with the household waste.
Consumers are legally obliged to dispose of (rechargeable) batteries separately.
(Rechargeable) batteries can be handed in free of charge at a collection point of
the local authority/district or in retailers so that they can be disposed of in an en-
vironmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they
are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment
and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants.
Only dispose of (rechargeable) batteries when they are discharged. If possible,
use rechargeable batteries rather than single-use batteries.
In the case of (rechargeable) batteries containing lithium, tape over the poles
before you dispose of them to prevent a short circuit. A short circuit may cause
a fire or explosion.
Waste prevention makes an even more valuable contribution to protecting the
environment. This means if possible, as well as continuing to use or repair a
device yourself, passing it on to another user also represents an ecologically
beneficial alternative to disposal.
