4) Consumer Information (B2C)

Please observe the following important notes to ensure environmentally sound disposal of waste devices and for your own safety. These instructions are aimed at private households using electrical and/or electronic equipment:

  1. Waste devices must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and do not belong in household trash. They must be collected separately and disposed of through local collection and return systems.
  2. Used batteries and accumulators not enclosed within the device must be removed before disposal at a collection point.
  3. The symbol in Annex 3 of the ElektroG (a crossed-out wheeled bin) indicates that devices must be disposed of separately from household waste.
  4. Return of waste devices is also possible through public waste management authorities or their collection points.
    An online directory of collection and return points can be found at:

5) Data Protection Notice

Waste devices may contain sensitive personal data (e.g., on PCs or smartphones). End users are solely responsible for deleting personal data from the devices prior to disposal.

 

6) Disposal

Disposal is carried out exclusively by certified specialist companies in accordance with § 20 ElektroG and is documented through registration in the EAR portal.
