Important Notes

Returning Used Electrical and Electronic Devices in EU Countries

Separate collection

Users of electrical and electronic devices are obligated to collect used devices separately. Electrical (electronic) used devices may not be disposed of together with unsorted household refuse. The separate collection is a condition for reuse, recycling and utilisation of used electrical (electronic) devices, which ensures the protection of resources.

Return and collection systems

Electrical (electronic) used devices from private households can be returned free of charge. To return your used device, please use the country-specific return and collection systems available to you (see “Local Contacts” on page 31).

The return of used devices which pose a health or safety risk for human beings due to soiling during use may be refused.

Reuse, recycling and utilisation

By actively using the offered return and collection systems, you make your contribution to the reuse, recycling and utilisation of electrical (electronic) devices.

Effects on the environment and human health

Electrical (electronic) used devices contain parts which must be handled sel- ectively according to the EU directive. Separate collection and selective treatment are the basis for environment-friendly disposal and the protection of human health.
