WEEE return option
Separate collection of old equipment:
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is referred to as old equipment. Owners of old
equipment must dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Old appliances do not belong in
household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
Batteries and accumulators as well as lamps: Owners of old appliances must separate old batteries and
accumulators that are not enclosed by the old appliance from the old appliance before handing them in
at a collection point. This also applies to lamps that can be removed from the waste equipment without
being destroyed. If the waste equipment is to be prepared for reuse with the participation of a public waste
management authority, batteries and accumulators as well as lamps do not have to be removed.
Options for returning old appliances: Owners of waste equipment from private households can return it free
of charge to the collection points of the public waste management authorities or to the take-back points set
up by manufacturers or distributors. Stores with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and electronic
equipment and those grocery stores with a total sales area of at least 800 m² that offer electrical and
electronic equipment several times a year or on a permanent basis and make it available on the market are
obliged to take it back.
This also applies to online or catalog sales if the storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic
equipment are at least 400 m² or the total storage and shipping areas are at least 800 m².
Distributors must generally ensure take-back by providing suitable return facilities at a reasonable distance
from the respective end user. The possibility of returning an old appliance free of charge exists for distri-
butors who are obliged to take it back, among other things, if a new appliance of the same type, which
