Do not dispose of waste batteries,
waste electrical and electronic
equipment as unsorted municipal
waste. Waste batteries and waste
electrical and electronic equipment
must be collected separately. Waste
batteries, waste accumulators, and
light sources have to be removed
from the equipment. Check with your
local authority or retailer for recycling
advice and collection point. According
to local regulations, retailers may
have an obligation to take back waste
batteries and waste electrical and
electronic equipment free of charge.
Your contribution to the reuse and
recycling of waste batteries and waste
electrical and electronic equipment
helps to reduce the demand of raw
materials. Waste batteries, in particular
containing lithium, and waste electrical
and electronic equipment contain
valuable and recyclable materials,
which can adversely impact the
environment and the human health if
not disposed of in an environmentally
compatible manner. Delete personal
data from waste equipment, if any.
