Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste electrical or electronic equipment
stipulates that this equipment must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end
of its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic
equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local
administration.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to enable the
re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent
negative effects for the environment and human health caused by the disposal of hazardous
substances potentially contained in the equipment.
