Recycling & Disposal
Disposal of old electrical equipment (according to ElektroG)
Waste electrical equipment contains both valuable resources that can be reused through recycling and pollutants that can cause major environmental problems if disposed of improperly. For this reason, consumers are legally obligated to properly dispose of waste electrical equipment.
All electrical and electronic equipment affected by this regulation must be marked with this symbol. It indicates that the respective device must not be disposed of in the household waste at the end of its service life, but at an authorized collection or return point.
As a distributor of electrical and electronic equipment, Conrad is legally obligated to take back old equipment free of charge in household quantities. This is not linked to the purchase of an electrical or electronic device and is independent of the "ElektroG categories".

What is the WEEE Directive?
WEEE is waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment and covers virtually everything with a plug or battery. It is classed as either household or non-household WEEE.
