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 summarised here.
1. SEPARATE COLLECTION OF OLD DEVICES:
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as old devices.
Owners of old devices must dispose of them separately from unsorted municipal waste.
In particular, old devices do not belong in household waste, but in special collection and
return systems.
2. BATTERIES AND ACCUMULATORS AND LAMPS:
As a rule, owners of old devices must separate batteries and accumulators that are not
enclosed in the old device, as well as lamps that can be removed from the old device wi-
thout causing damage, from the old device before handing them in a collection point. This
does not apply if old device is prepared for reuse with the involvement of a public waste
management authority.
3. OPTIONS FOR RETURNING OLD DEVICES:
Owners of old devices from private households can return them free of charge to the col-
lection points of the public waste management authorities or to the take-back points set
up by manufacturers or distributors as defined by the ElektroG.
4. MEANING OF THE SYMBOL „CROSSED-OUT DUSTBIN“:
The symbol of a crossed-out dustbin shown on electrical and electronic equipment in-
dicates that the respective device is to be collected separately from unsorted municipal
waste at the end of its service life.
