Electric and electronic equipment contains materials, components and
substances that can be hazardous to your health and the environment, if
the waste material (discarded electric and electronic equipment) is not
handled correctly.
Electric and electronic equipment is marked with the crossed out trash
can symbol, seen below. This symbol signifies that electric and electronic
equipment should not be disposed of with other household waste, but
should be disposed of separately.
All cities have established collection points, where electric and electronic
equipment can either be submitted free of charge at recycling stations and
other collection sites, or be collected from the households. Additional
information is available at the technical department of your city.
