Information on electrical and electronic equipment

The following information is intended for private households that use electrical and/or electronic devices. Please note these important instructions in the interests of environmentally friendly disposal of old devices and your own safety.

Information on the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment and the meaning of the symbol according to Annex 3 to the ElektroG:

Owners of old devices must dispose of them separately from unsorted municipal waste. Old electrical and electronic devices must therefore not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and in particular do not belong in household waste. Instead, 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 in the old device before handing them in to a collection point.

The latter does not apply if the old equipment is separated from other old equipment in accordance with Section 14 Paragraph 5 Sentences 2 and 3 of the ElektroG within the scope of the option granted by the public waste disposal authorities for the purpose of preparing it for reuse.

Using the symbol in Annex 3 to the ElektroG, owners can identify old devices that must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. The symbol for the separate collection of electrical and electronic devices represents a crossed-out wheeled waste bin and is designed as follows:

Information on the options for returning old devices:

Owners of old devices can hand them in using the return or collection options set up and available by public waste disposal authorities to ensure that the old devices are disposed of properly. If necessary, electrical and electronic devices can also be handed in there for the purpose of reusing the devices.

Privacy Policy

Old devices to be disposed of sometimes contain sensitive personal data (e.g. on a PC or smartphone) that must not fall into the hands of third parties. We expressly point out that end users of old devices must take responsibility for deleting personal data from the old devices to be disposed of.
