19 Disposal
19.1 Product
This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed
on the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be dis-
posed of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall
dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and
accumulators, which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that
can be removed from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be re-
moved by end users from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is
handed over to a collection point.
Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free
take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more
details on our website):
in our Conrad offices
at the Conrad collection points
at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection
points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may
apply in countries outside of Germany.
19.2 (Rechargeable) batteries
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from
the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return
all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal
household waste.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are la-
belled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbid-
den. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium,
Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the
trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality,
our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory
obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short
circuit and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape
before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual en-
ergy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short
circuit.
