Electrical and electronic devices/ information for private households

The Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment contains a large number of requirements for handling electrical and electronic equipment. The most important are compiled here.

1. Separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment
   • Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Owners of WEEE must collect them separately from unsorted municipal waste. WEEE does not belong in household waste but in special collection and return systems.
2. Batteries, accumulators, and lamps
   • Owners of WEEE must hand over them in complete condition. However, owners of WEEE have to separate old batteries and accumulators which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed, from the WEEE without destroying it before handing it over to a collection point.
3. Ways to return the WEEE
   • Owners of WEEE from private households can hand them in free of charge at the designated collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or at the take-back points set up by manufacturers or distributors in terms of Directive 2012/19/EU.
4. Potential environmental impact
   • WEEE often contains sensitive personal data. This applies especially 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 WEEE before disposing of it.
5. Potential environmental impact
   • WEEE contain substances that may have a negative impact on the environment and human health if their collection, hand-over, re-use, or material recovery is not done in compliance with respective legislation.
6. Your role in WEEE waste treatment
   • By fulfilling these obligations and especially by fulfilling the obligation to collect WEEE separately, not to dispose of it together with unsorted municipal waste, and to hand it over to at collection points, you as the end user contribute to the re-use and material recovery of WEEE.
7. The meaning of the crossed-out dustbin symbol
   • The crossed-out dustbin, which is regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment, indicates that the respective device must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its life cycle.
