Environmentally relevant information

Separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment

We would like to point out that electrical and electronic equipment may not be disposed of with household waste at the end of its service life. Owners of waste electrical and electronic equipment must dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries

You must separate used batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the waste electrical and electronic equipment from the latter before handing them in at a collection point.

Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of in household waste. As the end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries and accumulators. Used batteries may contain harmful substances that can damage the environment and health if stored or disposed of improperly. Particular care must be taken when handling batteries containing lithium due to the special risks involved. The separate collection and recycling of old batteries and accumulators is intended to avoid negative effects on the environment and health. However, spent batteries also contain important raw materials, such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel, and can be recycled. You can either send used batteries back to us or return them free of charge in the immediate vicinity, e.g. to the municipal collection points).

Options for returning used appliances/ used batteries

Please contact us if you would like to return waste electrical and electronic equipment/used batteries to us; we will provide options for returning and disposing of the waste electrical and electronic equipment/used batteries.

The following contact options are available for this purpose - depending on the Scheidt & Bachmann business division from which your used device/used battery originates:

Personal data

When returning old equipment on which personal data is or could be stored, you are responsible for deleting it yourself.

Meaning of the "crossed-out dustbin" symbol

The symbol shown on the appliances and batteries/accumulators indicates that the respective equipment or battery/accumulator may not be disposed of with household waste at the end of its service life, but must be collected separately.

In the case of batteries and accumulators, the chemical designation of the corresponding pollutants is located under the symbol of the crossed-out dustbin. Examples are:

Pb = battery/accumulator contains lead

Cd = battery contains cadmium

Hg = battery contains mercury.
