regardless of whether they contain harmful substances such as: Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Li = lithium or not, at a collection point in their
municipality / district or at a retail outlet, for environmentally friendly disposal
and for the recovery of valuable raw materials such as cobalt, nickel or
copper.
The return of batteries and rechargeable batteries is free of charge.
WARNING!
Environmental damage through incorrect
disposal of batteries / rechargeable
batteries!
Some of the possible materials such as mercury, cadmium and lead are
poisonous and, if not disposed of properly, endanger the environment. For
example, heavy metals can have harmful effects on the health of humans,
animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and in the food chain,
and can then enter the body indirectly via food.
WARNING! Danger of explosion!
With used batteries containing lithium (Li = lithium) there is a high risk of fire.
Therefore, special attention must be paid to the proper disposal of used
batteries and rechargeable batteries containing lithium. Incorrect disposal can
also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or
mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and
have serious consequences for humans and the environment.
For this reason, tape off the poles of lithium-based batteries and rechargeable
batteries prior to disposal in order to avoid an external short circuit.
