Do not dispose of waste batteries, waste electrical
and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal
waste. Waste batteries and waste electrical and
electronic equipment must be collected separately.
Waste batteries, waste accumulators, and light
sources have to be removed from the equipment.
Check with your local authority or retailer for
recycling advice and collection point. According to
local regulations, retailers may have an obligation
to take back waste batteries and waste electrical
and electronic equipment free of charge. Your
contribution to the reuse and recycling of waste
batteries and waste electrical and electronic
equipment helps to reduce the demand of raw
materials. Waste batteries, in particular containing
lithium, and waste electrical and electronic
equipment contain valuable and recyclable
materials, which can adversely impact the
environment and the human health if not disposed
of in an environmentally compatible manner. Delete
personal data from waste equipment, if any.
