to the relevant statutory requirements.
b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries
The end user is legally committed (battery regulation) to return used batteries
and storage batteries. Do not dispose of used batteries via the domestic

Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing harmful substances
are marked with the following symbols which point out that they
are not allowed to be disposed of in the domestic refuse. The
markings for hazardous heavy metals are: Cd=cadmium,
Hg=mercury, Pb=lead (name on battery/rechargeable battery, eg
under the rubbish bin icons on the left).
You can return used batteries/accumulators free of charge to any
collecting point in your local authority, in our stores or in any other

Thus, you comply with your legal obligations and make your contribution to
environmental protection.
