The crossed-out dustbin symbol means that you should not dispose of old
batteries and rechargeable batteries in household waste. In addition, you,
as the end-user, are legally obliged to return old batteries.
You can hand in batteries and rechargeable batteries free of charge at an
official return point such as any public waste disposal collection point.
You can also hand in old batteries, that we stock or have stocked as new
batteries, at one of our Teufel stores or at one of our dispatch warehouses.
However, if you send them to our dispatch warehouses we would like to
point out the dangerous goods regulations of the dispatch provider you opt
for and ask you not send batteries to us by post. You can get the addresses
of our dispatch warehouses from our customer service.
Due to existing legal regulations, the battery manufacturer must use the
following symbols with the following meanings when marking the batteries.
Hg: the battery contains more than 0.0005 mass percent of mercury
Pb: the battery contains more than 0.004 mass percent of lead
Cd: the battery contains more than 0.002 mass percent of cadmium
Otherwise, to avoid waste and littering, batteries with a long service life
or rechargeable batteries should be used. Exchangeable rechargeable
batteries enable long service for electrical and electronic appliances and
thus devices and rechargeable batteries can be prepared for recycling (e.g.
regenerating/exchanging rechargeable batteries).
Further information on preventing waste for consumers can, however, be
found in the Federal waste prevention programme with the participation of
the Federal states.
