We are committed to being environmentally friendly, so we offer you easy and free ways to dispose of your end-of-life electrical equipment.
The consumer plays a crucial role in the system of disposal of electrical appliances. It is the consumer who decides what to do with the old appliance. Old and unwanted electrical equipment does not belong in unsorted municipal waste, but should be handed over to collection points, so-called take-back points, from which it goes for reuse or recycling.
The consumer must be informed by the symbols below that the electrical equipment in question does not belong in municipal waste. All new electrical equipment is so marked. The symbol may be displayed directly on the equipment, on its packaging or in the instructions for use or warranty card.

Why recycle?
Electrical equipment contains many recyclable materials such as plastics, glass, metals (zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cadmium, lead, etc.). Some of these substances are also very hazardous to the environment and human health, in particular mercury, lead and cadmium.
By taking electrical equipment to a take-back point, we save primary resources by recycling the material and at the same time protect our environment from possible improper handling and subsequent pollution.
Improper disposal of this type of waste may result in fines in accordance with national regulations.
