Advice pursuant to the BattG (German Regulations regarding Batteries)
Batteries, rechargeable or not, must not be disposed of with household
waste, and consumers are under a legal obligation to return them after use
to a municipal collecting point or to the local trade. Used batteries contain
pollutants that may be harmful to you or the environment if they are not
stored or disposed of properly. Batteries also contain precious raw materials
such as, for instance, iron, zinc, manganese or nickel that can be recycled.
After use, consumers may return batteries free of charge either to us or in
their nearest vicinity (e.g. in local shops or at municipal collecting points).
On doing so, any return by end users at selling points is limited to the usual
quantities and to such used batteries that the distributor carries or has carried
in stock as new batteries. The symbol of a crossed dustbin means that bat-
teries, rechargeable or not, must not be disposed of with household waste.

Please dispose of all types of batteries at the public collecting points that
are responsible for such service and are appointed by your authorities.
