b) Rechargeable Batteries
You as the end user are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to
return all used rechargeable batteries. Disposing of them in the
household waste is prohibited.
Contaminated rechargeable batteries are labeled with this symbol
to indicate that disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden. The
designations for the heavy metals involved are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg
= Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on rechargeable batteries, e.g. below
the trash icon on the left).
Used rechargeable batteries can be returned to collection points in your
municipality, our stores or wherever rechargeable batteries are sold.
You thus fulfill your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of
the environment.
