12. DISPOSAL INFORMATION
12.3. DISPOSING OF BATTERIES
Batteries may not be
disposed of with household waste. The symbol on the right
means that you as a consumer
are required to separately dispose
of all batteries and battery
packs. Suitable collection bins are provided
at specialist retailers and
numerous public facilities.
Information on the disposal of old batteries
can also be found via waste disposal companies,
municipal and local authorities.
This type of disposal is free of charge. Protect the environment
and dispose of waste properly.
An additional chemical symbol Pb (lead) or Hg (mercury) under
the crossed-out bin means that the battery contains more than
0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead.
