Disposing of old batteries

In many cases, electrical and electronic

appliances contain batteries which

must not be disposed of with house-

hold waste after use. You are legally ob-

liged to remove any old batteries which

are not securely enclosed by the va-

cuum cleaner and to take them to a

suitable collection point (e.g. retailer)

where they can be handed in free of

charge. Batteries may contain sub-

stances which can be hazardous to hu-

man health and the environment.

The labelling on the battery will provide

further information. The bin symbol with

a cross through it means that the bat-

teries must not be disposed of in

household waste. A bin with a cross

through it which also has one or more

chemical symbols on it indicates that

the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium

(Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).

Old batteries contain valuable raw ma-

terials which can be recycled. Dispos-

ing of batteries separately makes them

easier to handle and recycle.
