Electrical and electronic equipment - Information for private households
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) contains a large number of requirements for handling electrical and electronic equipment. The most important are listed here.
1. Separate collection of old devices
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is called old equipment. Owners of old appliances have to provide them with a separate collection of unsorted municipal waste. In particular, old appliances are not in the household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
2. Batteries and rechargeable batteries
Owners of old devices must generally separate old batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the old device from the old device before handing it over to a collection point. This does not apply if the old devices are handed over to public waste disposal companies and separated there from other old devices for the purpose of preparation for reuse.
3. Possibilities of returning old equipment
Owners of old devices from private households can hand them in at the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or at the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG. An online directory of the collection and return points can be found here: https://www.stiftung-ear.de/de/startseite
4. Privacy information
Old devices often contain sensitive personal data. This is especially true for information and telecommunications technology devices such as computers and smartphones. In your own interest, please note that each end user is responsible for deleting the data on the old devices being disposed of.
5. Meaning of the symbol “crossed-out garbage can”
The symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin regularly shown on electrical and electronic equipment
points out that at the end of its service life the respective device must be recorded separately from unsorted municipal waste.
6. Manufacturer registration number
As a manufacturer within the meaning of the ElektroG, we are registered with the responsible Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register (Benno-Strauß-Str. 1, 90763 Fürth) under the following registration number: DE 26243129.
