Battery and old device disposal
1. Data protection at a glance
Our obligation to provide information according to the Battery Act:
In connection with the distribution of batteries or with the delivery of devices containing batteries, we are obliged to point out the following:
As an end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can return old batteries that we have or have had in our range as new batteries free of charge to our shipping warehouse (shipping address). The symbols shown on the batteries have the following meaning:
The symbol of the crossed out garbage can means that the battery must not be disposed of with household waste.
Pb = battery contains more than 0.004 percent lead by mass
Cd = battery contains more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium
Hg = Battery contains more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass.
Please note the above instructions.
Used batteries do not belong in household waste. You can return used batteries to our shipping warehouse free of charge or ship them to us at your own expense. As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return used batteries. Alternatively, you can also hand in the batteries in question at sales points. The levy is limited to quantities usual for the end user and to used batteries that the retailer carries or has carried in its range as new batteries. Used batteries can also be handed in at municipal collection points.
If you are unsure about handling used batteries or have further questions about returning them, please feel free to contact our service team.
Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol consisting of a crossed-out garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) of the heavy metal that is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants. You can return used batteries to us at the following address:
CLS DAFA GmbH, Werner-von-Siemens-Straße 42-44, 76646 Bruchsal, Germany
[Edit
There is also a legal obligation to return old electrical devices. After use, you can return them to our showroom, to a municipal collection point or to a local specialist retailer. You can return used devices to us at the following address:
CLS DAFA GmbH, Werner-von-Siemens-Straße 42-44, 76646 Bruchsal, Germany
The return option is limited to small old devices under 25 cm, to old devices that we have or have had in our range, as well as the quantity that end users usually get rid of.
