Information for private households (WEEE):
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (WEEE) contains a large number of requirements for the handling of
electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarised here.
1. Separate collection of waste equipment
Old, worn-out or defective electrical and electronic equipment is referred to as waste equipment. These devices must
not be disposed of in the normal household waste or together with the residual waste. The devices should be
transferred to special collection and return systems.
2. Batteries and rechargeable batteries as well as illuminants
As a rule, owners of WEEE shall separate spent batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the WEEE, as
well as light sources that can be removed from the WEEE without causing damage, from the WEEE before handing
it over to a collection point. This does not apply if WEEE is prepared for reuse with the participation of a public waste
management authority.
Batteries or rechargeable batteries that contain harmful substances are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out
dustbin and must not be disposed of in household waste. Below the dustbin symbol is the chemical name of the
pollutant - in the example below "Cd" for cadmium. "Pb" stands for lead, "Hg" for mercury:
If disposed of improperly, the substances contained in the batteries may cause hazards to health and the environment.
The hazards are averted by the separate collection and proper disposal of used batteries.
3. Options for returning old appliances
Owners of WEEE from private households can hand it in free of charge at the collection points of the public waste
management authorities or at the take-back points set up by manufacturers or distributors.
4. Data privacy notice
Old devices often contain 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 end-of-life devices to be disposed of.
5. Meaning of the "crossed-out dustbin" symbol
The symbol of a crossed-out dustbin 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.
