Disposable and rechargeable batteries that
are not firmly enclosed by the electrical or
electronic device and that can be removed in
a non-destructive way must be separated from
the device before it is handed over to a
collection point and disposed of as intended.
The same applies to light sources that can be
removed from the device in a non-destructive
way.
Owners of electrical and electronic equipment
from private households can hand them in at
the collection points of the public waste
disposal authorities or at the collection points
set up by the manufacturers or distributors
within the jurisdiction of the ElektroG
(Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act). The
surrender of old devices is free of charge.
Please dispose of the device by returning it to
your local branch of LIDL.
Dealers with a sales area of at least 400 m
for electrical and electronic equipment are
obliged to take them back. The same applies
to food retailers with a total sales area of at
least 800 m
, provided that they offer

electrical and electronic equipment
continuously or at least several times a year.

are also obligated. In general,
distributors are obliged to ensure that old
devices can be returned free of charge by
means of suitable return options at a
reasonable distance.
Consumers have the option of handing over
an old device free of charge to a distributor
who is obliged to take it back if the consumer
purchases an equivalent new device with
essentially the same function. This possibility
also exists for deliveries to a private
household. In distance selling, the option of
free pick-up when purchasing a new device is
limited to heat exchangers, computer monitors
and large devices that have at least one outer
edge with a length of more than 50 cm. When
concluding the purchase contract, the
distributor must ask the consumer about how
they intend to return the device. Apart from
that, consumers can hand in up to three old
devices of one type at a distributor's collection
point free of charge, without this being tied to
the purchase of a new device. However, the
edge lengths of the respective devices must
not exceed 25 cm.
Consumers are encouraged to take measures
to avoid waste. With regard to electrical and
electronic devices, this means extending their
lifespan by repairing defective devices and
selling used devices that are in good working
order instead of disposing of them.

Remove the battery before disposal without
