„ Battery recycling information for the European Union
battery is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and accumulators are
labeled to indicate that they are to be collected separately and recycled at end of life.
The label on the battery may also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in
the battery (Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium). Users of batteries and
accumulators must not dispose of batteries and accumulators as unsorted municipal
waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return, recycling,

minimize any potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment and

Before placing electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in the waste collection stream
or in waste collection facilities, the end user of equipment containing batteries and/or
accumulators must remove those batteries and accumulators for separate collection.
