COMPULSORY INFORMATION REGARDING THE DECREE ON BATTERIES AND
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Batteries and electrical appliances do not belong in your household waste. Users are
required by law to return used batteries. For proper disposal of batteries, you can
find designated disposal containers in specialized shops as well as in municipal
collecting facilities. This is a solid contribution to the protection of the environment.
Since 1998, the decree on batteries requires all citizens to dispose used batteries
only via these specialized shops or collecting facilities. Specialized shops and
manufactures are obliged to accept used batteries in return and re-use them in
accordance to the decree or dispose of them as dangerous waste. If you wish to
return your used batteries to us, you can mail them to our address in an adequately
stamped envelope.
