Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be ensured. You can return used batteries to a municipal collection point or to your local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back used batteries, although our obligation to take back used batteries is limited to those that we carry or have carried in our range as new batteries. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge directly to our dispatch warehouse at the address given in the imprint.

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Batteries containing more than 0.0005% mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass or more than 0.004% lead by mass are marked with the chemical name of the pollutant below the dustbin symbol - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead and "Hg" for mercury.
