Electrical Appliances

Electrical and electronic appliances that have become waste are referred to as old or waste appliances and old appliances may not be disposed of as general household waste.

The symbol of a crossed waste bin regularly shown on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that at the end of its service life the respective appliance has to be kept separate from unsorted general municipal waste.

If the old appliance has a removable battery (or accumulator), then please remove it and dispose of it separately if defective.
