Recycling

The Act on the Placing on the Market, the Taking Back and the Environmentally Sound Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ElektroG) has as its primary objective the prevention of waste from electrical and electronic equipment and, in addition, the preparation for reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste in order to reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of and thereby improve the efficiency of resource use. As an owner of electrical and electronic equipment, you must not dispose of WEEE that you wish to dispose of together with your household waste. WEEE must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. This is indicated by the symbol shown below, which is attached to electrical and electronic equipment:

This crossed-out dustbin means that electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with household waste. Electrical and electronic equipment can be handed in at the collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment (e.g. a recycling centre near you).

Note: We will gladly take back your old appliances and take care of their proper disposal.
