Notes on the disposal of old appliances and electronic waste (ElektroG)

As of March 2006, under the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG), old appliances may no longer be disposed of in household waste. Not only typical electrical appliances such as televisions, washing machines or refrigerators are affected, but also e.g. video games, loudspeakers, computers, notebooks, MP3 players, peripherals, printers, telephones, electrically operated children’s toys or other electrically operated old appliances. These devices can be recognized by the symbol of a “crossed-out trash can”. You can find the symbol on the devices or packaging. You can hand in electronic scrap free of charge at municipal collection points, for example. Your municipal waste advisory service or the consumer centers can give you information about the exact location of these collection points.

You will find this note additionally in the accompanying documents(operating instructions) of the REMSTIM 3000.
