Note on the Disposal of Electric
Appliances
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act
(ElektroG) contains a large number of requirements
for the handling of electrical and electronic
equipment. The most important ones are listed here.
1.
Separate collection of old appliances
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become
waste is referred to as old appliances. Owners of
WEEE must have it collected separately from unsorted
municipal waste. In particular, old appliances must
not be disposed of with household waste, but in
special collection and return systems.
2.
Batteries and accumulators
Owners of WEEE must normally separate used
batteries and accumulators which are not enclosed
by the WEEE from WEEE before returning them to a
collection point. This does not apply if the old
appliances are handed over to public waste
management authorities and separated from other
old appliances for the purpose of preparation for
reuse.
3.
Return options for old appliances
Owners of WEEE from private households can hand it
in at the collection points of the public disposal
authorities or at the collection points set up by
manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of
the ElektroG. An online list of collection and return
points can be found here: https://www.ear-

4.
Data protection notice
WEEE often contains sensitive personal data. This
applies
in
particular
to
information
and
telecommunications technology devices such as
computers and smartphones. In your own interest,
please note that each end user is responsible for
deleting the data on the old devices to be disposed of.
5.
Meaning of the symbol „crossed-out dustbin“
The crossed-out dustbin symbol regularly
displayed on electrical and electronic
equipment indicates that the respective
device must be collected separately from
unsorted municipal waste at the end of its
service life.
