Eco-friendly disposal of electric devices, batteries and accumulators

Electric devices, batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) contain resources and harmful substances.

Every consumer is therefore legally obliged to dispose them at a authorized collection point. This ensures environmentally friendly and resource-saving recycling.

Electric devices, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries may not be disposed of with domestic waste. They can be handed in free of charge at any retailer where similar products are sold - regardless of where they were purchased and regardless of brand or type. Otherwise, they can be returned for free to a recycling center or recycling depot.

Old batteries and accumulators that are not covered by the old device must be separated from it before being handed in.

Disposal of lamps and light sources

These may contain small amounts of mercury. Please return them to your local recycling center or hazardous waste collection point. Avoid skin contact with damaged lamps!
