electronic devices separately from unsorted household waste. This
ensures environmentally friendly and resource-saving recycling.

electronic devices and can be removed without destruction must be separated from
such devices before disposal at a designated site and disposed of properly. The same
applies to illuminants that can be removed from the device without destroying it.

collection points of the public waste disposal companies or at the collection points
established by the manufacturers or distributors. The return of obsolete devices is
free of charge.
