Disposal information for used batteries:

As our consignments may contain batteries and rechargeable batteries, we are obliged under the Battery Act (BattG) to inform you of the following:

Batteries and rechargeable batteries must NOT be disposed of in household waste, but you are legally obliged to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries.
Used batteries may contain harmful substances that can damage the environment or your health if not stored or disposed of properly.
However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and can be recycled.
After use, you can either return the batteries to one of our shops or return them free of charge in the immediate vicinity (e.g. to retailers or municipal collection points or to our dispatch warehouse). The return of batteries to sales outlets is limited to the usual quantity for end users and to those spent batteries that the distributor carries or has carried as new batteries in its product range.

The sign with the crossed-out dustbin means that batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with household waste.

Under this symbol you will also find the following symbols with the following meaning:
Pb: Battery contains lead
Cd: Battery contains cadmium
Hg: Battery contains mercury
