Waste disposal

Information in accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)

In our store we offer electrical and electronic appliances that fall under the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG). When these have become waste, they are referred to as "old appliances". The proper disposal of "old appliances" is important to us.


Using the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin, owners can identify old appliances that must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of their service life. Used batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the old appliance must be separated from it before being handed in. Owners of old appliances from private households can hand them in at the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or at the take-back points set up by manufacturers or distributors in accordance with the ElektroG. They do not belong in household waste! You can find an online list of collection and take-back points at here.

This ensures that old appliances are recycled professionally and negative effects on the environment are avoided.

We are a member of the take-back system "take-e-back", our WEEE reg. no. is DE 65010510 . Further information can be found at www.take-e-back.de

Information according to the Battery Act (BattG)

In our store we offer batteries and rechargeable batteries that fall under the Battery Act (BattG). The proper disposal of used batteries is important to us.

Used batteries can contain harmful substances that can damage the environment or your health if they are not stored or disposed of properly. However, batteries also contain important raw materials that can be recycled.

Batteries containing harmful substances are marked with a symbol consisting of a crossed-out dustbin and the chemical symbol (Cd/cadmium, Hg/mercury or Pb/lead) of the heavy metal responsible for the classification as containing harmful substances.

As a consumer, you are legally obliged to dispose of used batteries properly. Disposal in household waste is expressly prohibited according to the BattG. You can dispose of used batteries and rechargeable batteries free of charge at a municipal collection point or at your local retailer.
Of course, you can return the batteries you have purchased from us after use to one of our branches or send them back to us by post with sufficient postage.
