Battery Disposal

Note: Since our shipments may contain batteries and rechargeable batteries, we are obliged under the Battery Act (BattG) to inform you of the following:
Batteries and rechargeable batteries may not be disposed of with household waste, but you are legally obliged to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries.

Used batteries may contain harmful substances which, if not stored or disposed of properly, may harm the environment or your health. However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and can be recycled.

After use, you can either return the batteries to us or return them free of charge in the immediate vicinity (e.g. in the trade or at municipal collection points or in our dispatch warehouse). The sale to points of sale is limited to the usual quantities for end users as well as those used batteries which the distributor carries or has carried as new batteries in his product range.

The sign with the crossed-out dustbin means that you may not dispose of batteries and accumulators in household waste.

Under this symbol you will also find the following symbols with the following meaning:
Pb: Battery contains lead
Cd: Battery contains cadmium
Hg: Battery contains mercury
