Battery and old equipment disposal
1. Data protection at a glance
Our duty to provide information under the Battery Act:
In connection with the sale of batteries or the delivery of devices containing batteries, we are obliged to inform you of 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 to our shipping warehouse (shipping address) free of charge. 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 in household waste.
Pb = Battery contains more than 0.004 percent lead by weight
Cd = Battery contains more than 0.002 percent cadmium by weight
Hg = Battery contains more than 0.0005 percent mercury by weight.
Please note the above information.
Old batteries do not belong in household waste. You can return used batteries to our shipping warehouse free of charge or send them to us at your own expense. As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return old batteries. Alternatively, you can also return the batteries in question to sales outlets. The return is limited to quantities that are usual for the end user and to old batteries that the retailer has or has had in its range as new batteries. Old batteries can also be returned to municipal collection points.
If you are unsure about how to handle old 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 hand in used batteries to us at the following address:
CLS DAFA GmbH, Draisstrasse 10, 76646 Bruchsal, Germany
2. Note according to the Waste Equipment Ordinance (ElektroG)
There is also a legal obligation to return old electrical devices. You can return these after use to our showroom, to a municipal collection point or to a local specialist retailer. You can hand in used old devices to us at the following address:
CLS DAFA GmbH, Draisstrasse 10, 76646 Bruchsal, Germany
The return option is limited to small old appliances under 25 cm, to old appliances that we have or have had in our range, and to the quantity that end users usually dispose of.
