As our shipments may contain batteries and rechargeable batteries, we are obliged under the German 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 that can damage the environment or your health if they are not stored or disposed of properly. However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and can be recycled. You can either send the batteries back to us after use or return them free of charge in the immediate vicinity (e.g. at retail outlets or municipal collection points or at our dispatch warehouse). Disposal at points of sale is limited to the usual quantities for end users and to used batteries that the distributor carries or has carried as new batteries in its range.
The symbol with the crossed-out wheeled garbage can means that batteries and rechargeable batteries may not be disposed of with household waste. Below this symbol you will also find the following symbols with the following meanings:
Pb: Battery contains lead
Cd: Battery contains cadmium
Hg: Battery contains mercury
