Battery disposal

________________________________________________

Information on the disposal of used batteries

The following notice is intended for those who use batteries or products containing built-in batteries and do not resell them in the form in which they were supplied (end users):

1. Free collection of used batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be ensured. You can hand in used batteries at a local collection point or at a local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back used batteries, although our obligation to take them back is limited to used batteries of the type that we currently stock or have previously stocked as new batteries. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us, provided they are adequately stamped, or hand them in free of charge directly at our dispatch centre at the following address:

Company.
KinderAuto e.U.
Auwiesen 3
4933 Aspach
Austria

2. Meaning of the battery symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheelie bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005 per cent by mass of mercury, more than 0.002 per cent by mass of cadmium or more than 0.004 per cent by mass of lead, the chemical symbol for the respective hazardous substance is shown beneath the bin symbol – where "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury."
