As the end user, you are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Disposing of them in the household waste is prohibited!
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that include hazardous substances are labelled with these icons to indi-
cate that disposal in domestic waste is forbidden. The descriptions for the respective heavy metal are: Cd
= cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead (the names are indicated on the battery/rechargeable battery e.g.
below the rubbish bin icons shown to the left).
You may return used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge to any collecting point in your local
community, in our stores or everywhere else where batteries/rechargeable batteries are sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
