Owners of electrical and electronic equipment from
private households can hand them in at the
collection points of the public waste disposal
authorities or at the collection points set up by the
manufacturers or distributors within the jurisdiction of
the ElektroG/WEEE. The surrender of old devices is
free of charge.
Please dispose of the device by returning it to your
lidl store.
Dealers with a sales area of at least 400 m
2
for
electrical and electronic equipment are obliged to
take them back. The same applies to food retailers
with a total sales area of at least 800 m
2
, provided
that they offer electrical and electronic equipment
continuously or at least several times a year.
Distance sellers with a storage area of at least
400 m
2
for electrical and electronic equipment or a
total storage area of at least 800 m
2
are also
obligated. In general, distributors are obliged to
ensure that old devices can be returned free of
charge by means of suitable return options at a
reasonable distance.
Consumers have the option of handing over an old
device free of charge to a distributor who is obliged
to take them back if they purchase an equivalent
new device with essentially the same function. This
possibility also exists for deliveries to a private
household. In distance selling, the option of free
pick-up when purchasing a new device is limited to
heat exchangers, display screen devices and large
devices that have at least one outer edge with a
length of more than 50 cm. When concluding the
purchase contract, the distributor must question the
consumer about their return intention. Apart from
that, consumers can hand in up to three old devices
of one type at a collection point of a distributor free
of charge, without this being tied to the purchase of
a new device. However, the edge lengths of the
respective devices must not exceed 25 cm.
Consumers are encouraged to take measures to
avoid waste. With regard to electrical and electronic
devices, this means extending their lifespan by
repairing defective devices and selling used devices
that are in good working order instead of disposing
of them.
Remove the battery before disposal without causing
damage and dispose of it separately (see "Disposing
of the batteries").
