Disposal of old batteries
In connection with the sale of batteries or rechargeable batteries, or devices that are operated with batteries or rechargeable batteries, we as a dealer are obliged under the Battery Act to inform about the relevant regulations and obligations:
Old batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. Consumers are legally obliged to take batteries to a suitable collection point at a retailer or local authority. The disposal is free of charge for you. You can also send your used batteries back to us. The batteries/rechargeable batteries must always be returned to us with sufficient postage:

Used batteries may contain pollutants or heavy metals that can harm the environment and health. Batteries also contain valuable raw materials that can be recycled. The environment and prosimo say thank you.
The garbage can means: Batteries and rechargeable batteries are not household waste.
The symbols under the garbage cans stand for:
Pb: Battery contains lead
CD: Battery contains cadmium
Hg: Battery contains mercury
