Information on the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)

Disused electrical and electronic equipment can contain hazardous substances and valuable raw materials and therefore does not belong in household waste. As a consumer, you have the option to return old appliances free of charge. Please note the following legal information:

1. Prohibition of Disposal in Household Waste

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste (household waste). All corresponding products have been marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin since 2005:

2. Separation of Batteries, Accumulators, and Lamps

If the products contain batteries, accumulators, or lamps, these must be removed and disposed of separately before disposal, provided that removal is possible without destructive intervention. This does not apply if old appliances are collected separately for the purpose of preparing them for re-use.

3. Personal Responsibility for Data Deletion

We point out that you are personally responsible for deleting sensitive or personal data on the old appliances to be disposed of.

4. Our Return Options for You

Although our business and shipping areas are below the legal minimum sizes, we offer you the option to return your old appliances free of charge in the interest of environmental protection and our service promise:

• Return of Small Appliances (0:1 Return): You can return old appliances that do not exceed 25 cm in any external dimension free of charge in household quantities, regardless of whether you purchase a new appliance.
• Return of Large Appliances upon Purchase (1:1 Return): When purchasing an equivalent new appliance, we will take back your old appliance free of charge. For large appliances in categories 1 (temperature exchange equipment), 2 (screens, monitors), and 4 (large equipment with at least one external dimension > 50 cm), we will ask you at the time of purchase about free collection upon delivery.

How the return works:

• On Site: We accept old appliances free of charge at our location in Feldkirchen-Westerham during opening hours.
