Council of 27.01.03), it is no longer permissible to dispose of used electrical and electronic equipment
in unsorted household waste collections. It must be kept separate from other waste. The symbol on

disposed of in the relevant system of separated waste disposal.

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ElektroG) of 16.03.05) you are required to take old equipment to
a waste collection point separated from household waste. The public waste disposal contractor (local
authorities) have set up collection points for this purpose where old equipment from private
households in your area can be collected for you free of charge.
It is also possible that the legally responsible waste disposal company will collect old equipment from
private households.
