As we sell batteries and such equipment, where batteries and rechargeable batteries are included, we are - according the battery legislation (BattG) - obliged to inform you of the following: you are not allowed to dispose batteries and accumulators in the household garbage. As required by law, used batteries must be returned. Batteries can contain harmful substances. Not properly stored or disposed of in the environment, they can cause harm to your health. Batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel, which can be recycled. You can either send used batteries back to us or recycle them for free in your area (eg trade shop or community collection). The levy to points of sale is limited to end users with customary quantity and to those old batteries, which the distributor has or had in their range. The crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that batteries and rechargeable batteries are not to be disposed of in the trash.
