Disposal of batteries
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be treated as
hazardous waste and must therefore be disposed of in
an environmentally sound manner by appropriate bodies
(dealers, specialist dealers, public municipal bodies, com-
mercial disposal companies). Batteries/rechargeable
batteries may contain toxic heavy metals.
The heavy metals contained are identified by letters below the symbol:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
For this reason, do not dispose of batteries/rechargeable batteries in
domestic waste. Take them to a specialist collection point.
Only return batteries or rechargeable batteries when they are fully
discharged.
