15. Disposal
This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market.
This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste
at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose of it
separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, which are not
enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from the WEEE in a non-
destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the WEEE in a non-destructive
manner before it is handed over to a collection point.
Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of waste.
Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):
•
in our Conrad offices
•
at the Conrad collection points
•
at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by
manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in countries
outside of Germany.
