The symbol of the crossed-out dumpster on the product, the (rechargeable) battery (if applicable) and/or the packaging indicates that these products must not be disposed of with normal household waste, but must be disposed of separately at the end of their service life. For the packaging, follow the regulations in your country for separating waste. Improper disposal of packaging materials can be harmful to your health and the environment.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment, (rechargeable) batteries (if applicable), and packaging is intended to promote reuse and recycling and to prevent negative impacts on public health and the environment, for example, due to hazardous substances contained in these products.

If (rechargeable) batteries can be removed without destroying them, you are obliged to dispose of them separately (see the product’s operating instructions for information on how to remove the batteries safely).
