Instructions for battery disposal

Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. End users are legally obligated to return used batteries.

Priority: Return to municipal collection points

Environmentally sound and recommended disposal takes place via municipal collection points (e.g., recycling centers or battery collection boxes in stores). Used batteries can be dropped off there free of charge and are accepted nationwide.
