Notes on the electrical and electronic equipment
act [ElektroG]
Waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment does not belong in household
waste, but must be collected and dis-
posed of separately!
• Old batteries or rechargeable batteries that are
not permanently installed in the old unit must be
removed before handing them in! Their disposal is
regulated by the battery act.
• Owners or users of electrical and electronic devic-
es are legally obliged to return them after use.
• The end user is responsible for deleting their per-
sonal data from the old device being disposed of!
• The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin means that
waste electrical and electronic equipment must not
be disposed of with household waste.
• Waste electrical and electronic equipment can be
handed in free of charge at the following places:
- Public disposal or collection points (e.g. munici-
pal works yards)
- Points of sale of electrical appliances (stationary
and online), provided that dealers are obliged to
take them back or offer to do so voluntarily.
- Up to three waste electrical devices per type of
device, with an edge length of no more than 25
centimetres, can be returned free of charge to
the manufacturer without prior purchase of a new
device from the manufacturer or taken to another
authorised collection point in your vicinity.
- Further supplementary take-back conditions of
the manufacturers and distributors can be ob-
tained from the respective customer service.
• If the manufacturer delivers a new electrical appli-
ance to a private household, the manufacturer can
arrange for the free collection of the old electrical
appliance upon request from the end user. Please
contact the manufacturer's customer service for
this.
• These statements only apply to devices installed
and sold in the countries of the European Union
