Disposing of old batteries and
rechargeable batteries
Some electrical and electronic appli-
ances contain batteries and re-
chargeable batteries which must not be
thrown away with your household
waste. You should remove any remov-
able batteries or rechargeable batteries
and dispose of them immediately in a
suitable recycling box for batteries.

Batteries and rechargeable bat-
teries contain substances which can
be harmful to human health and the
environment and should be kept out
of the reach of children. Even flat
batteries can still be dangerous. If
you suspect a child has swallowed a
battery, seek medical advice imme-
diately.
Further instructions regarding disposal
are given on batteries and rechargeable
batteries. A crossed out bin means that
the battery or rechargeable battery
must on no account be disposed of
with your household waste. A crossed
out bin, which also has one or several
chemical symbols below it, indicates
that the battery or rechargeable battery
contains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/
or mercury (Hg).
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain important raw materials which
can be recycled. Disposing of batteries
and rechargeable batteries separately
makes them easier to handle and re-
cycle.
