Caring for the environment
11
Disposing of old batteries and
rechargeable batteries
Some electrical and electronic appli-
ances contain batteries and re-
chargeable batteries which, when de-
pleted, must not be thrown away with
your household waste. You are required
by law (depending on country) to re-
move any removable batteries or re-
chargeable batteries and to dispose of
them in a suitable recycling box for bat-
teries. This service is free of charge.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain substances which can damage
human health and the environment.
Further instructions regarding disposal
are given on batteries and rechargeable
batteries. A bin with a line through it
means that the battery or rechargeable
battery must on no account be dis-
posed of with your household waste. A
bin with a line through it which also has
one or several chemical symbols on it,
indicates that the battery or re-
chargeable battery contains lead (Pb),
cadmium (Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).
3E&G+J
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain important raw materials which
can be recycled. Disposing of batteries
and rechargeable batteries separately
makes them easier to handle and re-
cycle.
