1.15 Disposal of electric devices
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 accu-
mulators 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
management authorities or at the collection points set up by manu-
facturers or distributors as defined by the ElektroG. An online directory
of collection and collection points can be found here:

4. Data protection
Old equipment often contains sensitive personal data. This applies in
particular to information and telecommunication technology devices
such as computers and smartphones. For your own sake, please
note that each end-user is responsible for deleting the data on the
old equipment to be disposed of.
5. Meaning of the „crossed-out dustbin“ symbol
The symbol of a crossed-out dustbin regularly displayed on
electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the respective
device must be separated from unsorted local waste at the end
of its service life.
6. Manufacturer registration number
As a manufacturer, within the meaning of the ElektroG, we are re-
gistered with the responsible foundation Elektro-Altgeräte Register
(Benno-Strauß-Str. 1, 90763 Fürth) under the following registration
number: DE58373021
