Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with household waste. Customers are obliged to return used batteries and accumulators.

Labelling

The symbol of a crossed-out waste bin tags products which are to be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of service life. Close to this symbol you will find the chemical name of the harmful substance contained in the battery or accumulator. “Cd” stands for Cadmium, “Hg” for Mercury and “Pb” for Lead.
