Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin
(see following illustration). This symbol indicates that batteries
must not be disposed of with household waste. Batteries
containing more than 0.0005 mass percent of mercury, more
than 0.002 mass percent of cadmium or more than 0.004 mass
percent of lead additionally bear the chemical name of the
pollutant they contain below the waste bin symbol. The
abbreviation "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands
for lead and "Hg" stands for mercury.
1.11 Note on the disposal of electric
appliances
1. Separate collection of old appliances
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become waste is
referred to as old appliances. Owners of WEEE must have it
collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. In
particular, old appliances must not be disposed of with
household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
2. Batteries and accumulators
Owners of WEEE must normally separate used batteries and
accumulators which are not enclosed by the WEEE from WEEE
before returning them to a collection point. This does not apply
if the old appliances are handed over to public waste
management authorities and separated from other old
appliances for the purpose of preparation for reuse.
3. Data protection notice
WEEE often contains sensitive personal data. This applies in
particular to information and telecommunications technology
devices such as computers and smartphones. In your own
