Disposal information

Consumer information on the disposal and scrapping of old appliances

Please note that electrical and electronic appliances must not be disposed of with household waste. Old appliances can be handed in free of charge at suitable collection centres, where they will be professionally collected, disposed of or prepared for reuse. This is necessary because some old appliances contain harmful substances that can damage the environment and human health. Furthermore, the raw materials contained can be reused, which in turn helps to protect the environment.

Return options for consumers 

Owners of old appliances can return them free of charge within the framework of the facilities set up and available by public waste disposal organisations for the return or collection of old appliances to ensure that the old appliances are disposed of properly.
