ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES ACT (ELEKTROG/WEEE)

Disposal notice: The following information is intended for private households that use electrical and/or electronic equipment. Please observe these important notes in the interest of environmentally sound disposal of old devices as well as your own safety. 1. Information on the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment and the meaning of the symbol according to Annex 3 of the ElektroG: Owners of old devices must ensure that these are collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. Electrical and electronic waste must therefore not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and should not be placed in household waste. Rather, these old devices must be collected separately and disposed of via local collection and return systems. Owners of old devices must also separate old batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the old device before handing them over at a collection point. The latter does not apply insofar as the old devices are separated from other old devices by public waste disposal authorities within the framework of the opt-in according to § 14 paragraph 5 sentences 2 and 3 ElektroG for the purpose of preparation for reuse. Based on the symbol according to Annex 3 of the ElektroG, owners can recognize old devices that must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. The symbol for the separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment depicts a crossed-out wheeled waste bin and is designed as follows: Disposal symbol 2. Information on the possibilities for returning old devices: Owners of old devices can hand them in within the framework of the return or collection options for old devices set up and made available by public waste disposal authorities to ensure proper disposal of old devices. If applicable, it is also possible to hand in electrical and electronic equipment there for the purpose of reuse. Further information can be obtained from the respective collection or return point.
