8. Disposal
If a product is marked with the symbol of a dustbin with a cross through it, this indi-
cates that the product must not be disposed of with the household waste. In the case of
batteries or rechargeable batteries containing mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb),
the chemical symbol is shown under the crossed-out dustbin symbol. The end user has
an obligation to return the batteries or rechargeable batteries. These can be returned
free of charge to the retailer or handed in at any collection point. Electronic devices
and rechargeable batteries should be handed in separately from each other. Make sure
that the batteries or rechargeable batteries are in a discharged state or protected from
short-circuiting, if applicable. When purchasing products, try to ensure that the products
have a long service life to minimise the amount of waste produced. If your electric or
electronic device contains personal data, you are responsible for erasing it.
Because of the substances they contain, improper disposal of batteries or rechargeable
batteries can harm the environment and human health. Special care should be taken
when handling batteries containing lithium. Products should be checked to see if they
can be re-used, for example by being repaired, before you dispose of them.
!!! Always observe local waste disposal regulations!!!
