Disposal of electronic equipment
Meaning of the „crossed-out trash can“ symbol
The symbol on the product, accessories or packaging indicates that this device
must not be disposed of as unsorted waste, but must be taken to a special
collection point! Dispose of the device at a collection point for recycling
and disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment that has systems for
separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment if you live within
the EU and other European countries. By disposing of the equipment correctly,
you will help to avoid potential hazards to the environment and health that
may be caused by inappropriate handling of waste equipment. Recycling
materials helps to conserve natural resources.
Separate disposal
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as
old equipment. Owners of old equipment must dispose of it separately from
unsorted municipal waste. In particular, old appliances do not belong in
household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries
As a rule, owners of waste equipment must separate spent batteries and
accumulators that are not enclosed in the waste equipment and can be removed
from the waste equipment without causing damage before handing them over to a
collection point. This does not apply if WEEE is prepared for reuse with the
participation of a public waste management authority. The following batteries
or accumulators are contained in this electrical equipment:
Battery type | Chemical system |
---|---|
Mignon (Typ: AA or R6) | Zinc-Carbon |
Options for the return of old equipment(only in germany)
Owners of old appliances from private households can hand them in free of
charge at the collection points of the public waste management authorities or
at the take-back points set up by manufacturers or distributors as defined by
the ElektroG. Stores with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and
electronic equipment and those grocery stores with a total sales area of at
least 800 m² that offer electrical and electronic equipment several times a
year or on a permanent basis and make it available on the market are subject
to the take-back obligation. This also applies in the case of distribution
using means of distance communication, if the storage and shipping areas for
electrical and electronic equipment are at least 400 m² or the total storage
and shipping areas are at least 800 m². Distributors shall generally ensure
take-back by providing suitable return facilities at a reasonable distance
from the respective end user.
The possibility of returning an old appliance free of charge exists for distributors who are obliged to take it back, among other things, if a new appliance of the same type, which essentially fulfills the same functions, is supplied to an end user. If a new appliance is delivered to a private household, the similar old appliance can also be handed over there for collection free of charge; this applies in the case of distribution using means of distance communication to appliances in categories 1, 2 or 4 as defined in Section 2 (1) of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, namely „heat transmitters“, „display screen equipment“ or „large appliances“ (the latter with at least one external dimension exceeding 50 centimeters). End users are asked about their intention to return the equipment when they conclude a purchase contract. In addition, there is the possibility of free return at collection points of the distributors, independent of the purchase of a new device, for such old devices that are not larger than 25 centimeters in any external dimension, limited to three old devices per type of device.
Data protection notice
Old devices often contain sensitive personal data. This applies in particular
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 old devices to be disposed of.
Disposal of packaging waste
The packaging is made of materials that may be disposed of at your local
recycling facilities. By properly disposing of the packaging and packaging
waste, you will help prevent potential hazards to the environment and public
health.
