More than 20 kg of e-waste is produced per person per year in Germany.
E-waste contains valuable materials but also hazardous substances. If you do not dispose of your old appliances properly, this has serious consequences for our environment and health.
Therefore: Recycle! But please do it properly. Worn-out electrical appliances do not belong in household waste!
You can get rid of your e-waste free of charge at the recycling centre or in shops. Every online retailer must ensure that there are return options within a reasonable distance.
Properly disposed of, no pollutants are released into the environment and valuable resources can be recovered and reused.
You can find collection points near you in the e-waste return finder.
