REGULATORY INFORMATION
Information on electrical and electronic equipment
The following notice is aimed at private end users who use electrical and/or electronic
devices.
1. Separate collection of old devices
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as waste
equipment. Owners of old devices must collect them separately from unsorted municipal
waste. In particular, old devices do not belong in household waste, but in special
collection and return systems.
2. Batteries and rechargeable batteries
As a rule, owners of old devices must separate old batteries and accumulators that are
not enclosed by the old device from it before handing them over to a collection point.
This does not apply if the old devices are handed over to public waste disposal authorities
and are separated there from other old devices in order to prepare them for reuse.
3. Options for returning old devices
If you own old devices, you can hand them over to the options set up and available by
public waste disposal authorities for the purpose of proper disposal of old devices. It may
also be possible to hand in electrical and electronic equipment there for the purpose of
reusing the equipment. You can obtain more detailed information on this from the
respective collection or collection point.
4. Privacy Notice
Old devices often contain sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to information
and telecommunications technology devices such as computers and smartphones. In your
own interest, please note that each end user is responsible for deleting the data on the
old devices to be disposed of.
5. Meaning of the crossed-out dustbin symbol
The symbol of a crossed-out garbage can, which is regularly shown on electrical and
electronic devices, indicates that the device in question must be collected separately from
unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on batteries or accumulators means that they must
not be disposed of with household waste at the end of their useful life. If batteries or
accumulators contain mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb),
you will find the respective chemical symbol below the symbol of the crossed-out garbage
can. You are legally obliged to return old batteries and accumulators after use. You can do
this free of charge at a retail store or at another collection point near you. Addresses of
suitable collection points can be obtained from your city or local government.
