Disposal and Recycling Information (Based on German ElektroG)

The Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz (ElektroG) outlines requirements for handling electrical and electronic equipment. Key points for private households include:

• Separate Collection of Old Equipment: Electrical and electronic devices that have become waste are classified as old equipment (Altgeräte). Owners must ensure these are collected separately from unsorted municipal waste and returned to specialized collection and return systems. Old equipment does not belong in household waste.
• Batteries, Accumulators, and Lamps: Owners of old equipment must generally separate old batteries and accumulators, as well as lamps that can be removed without damage, from the old equipment before returning it. This does not apply if old equipment is being prepared for reuse by a public-law disposal body.
• Return Options for Old Equipment: Consumers can return old devices free of charge to collection points operated by public-law disposal bodies or to return facilities set up by manufacturers or retailers. Retailers with a sales area of at least 400 m² for electrical and electronic equipment, or food stores with a total sales area of at least 800 m² that offer electrical and electronic equipment, are obligated to take them back. This also applies to distance selling if storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic equipment are at least 400 m², or total storage and shipping areas are at least 800 m². Retailers must ensure convenient return options. Take-back is generally required when purchasing a new, equivalent device. For devices delivered to private households via distance selling, take-back is possible for categories 1, 2, or 4 (e.g., heat exchangers, displays, large appliances with an outer dimension over 50 cm). Consumers are asked about their intention to return a device when completing a purchase contract. Additionally, small old devices (with no outer dimension larger than 25 cm) can be returned to retailer collection points without purchasing a new device, limited to three per device type.
• Data Protection Notice: Old equipment often contains sensitive personal data, particularly IT and telecommunications devices like computers and smartphones. Users are solely responsible for deleting data on devices to be disposed of.
• Meaning of the Crossed-out Bin Symbol [?️]: The symbol of a crossed-out bin, regularly shown on electrical and electronic equipment, indicates that the device must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
