The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices
should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be
taken to special collection and return systems.
Owners of used devices must remove from the used device any used
batteries or rechargeable batteries which are not encapsulated by the used
device and can be removed in a non-destructive way and dispose of them
separately (see also the section on battery disposal).
Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of
charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or
the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors
under the Electrical Equipment Act. Businesses which market electrical and
electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices.
(Rechargeable) batteries must not be disposed of along with the household
waste. Consumers are legally obliged to dispose of (rechargeable) batteries
separately.
(Rechargeable) batteries can be handed in free of charge at a collection
point of the local authority/district or in retailers so that they can be
disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials
can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients
may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans,
animals and plants.
Only dispose of (rechargeable) batteries when they are discharged. If possi-
ble, use rechargeable batteries rather than single-use batteries.
In the case of (rechargeable) batteries containing lithium, tape over the
poles before you dispose of them to prevent a short circuit. A short circuit
may cause a fire or explosion.
