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 WEEE:
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment that has become waste is referred to as
WEEE. Owners of WEEE must dispose of it separately from unsorted local waste. In
particular, WEEE does not belong in household waste, but in special collection and
return systems.
2. Batteries and accumulators:
As a rule, owners of WEEE must separate spent batteries and accumulators that are
not enclosed in the WEEE before handing them over at a collection point. This does
not apply if the WEEE is handed over to public waste management authorities and
separated from other WEEE there for the purpose of preparation for reuse.
3. Options for returning old appliances (WEEE):
Owners of WEEE from private households can hand it in to public waste manage-
ment authorities or at the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors
as defined by the ElektroG. An online directory of collection and collection points
can be found here:
