BATTERY DISPOSAL
Directive 2006/66/EC and amendments
Batteries may contaminate the environment due to toxic or harmful
substances that can be dangerous for humans, animals and the veg-
etation. For this reason, they must not be disposed of as unsorted
household waste. They must be brought to the appropriate collection
point for the collection, recycling and treatment of batteries.
Users participation in the collection and recycling of batteries is im-
portant to reduce to the minimum any potential impacts of substances
used in these components on the environment and on human health.
Different collection and recycling schemes for batteries are estab-
lished across the European Union. For any information on the
schemes valid in your area, please contact the relevant local author-
ities in your territory.
The crossed-out wheeled bin marked on bat-
teries indicates that they must be disposed of
separately from household waste, in accord-
ance with EU Directive 2006/66/CE and its
amendments, and with local regulations.
The Cd chemical symbol may be printed be-
neath the crossed-out wheeled bin, indicating
that the battery contains the heavy metal
Cadmium.
Batteries containing metal hydride do not
have any symbol printed.
