Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment / Information on the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that this electrical or electronic device must not be disposed of in household waste at the end of its service life, but must be collected separately by the end user.

Free collection points for waste electrical equipment, as well as any additional drop-off points for the reuse of devices, are available near you. You can obtain addresses from your local city or municipal administration.

As a distributor of electrical and electronic equipment, we are obliged to take back old electrical and electronic devices free of charge.

Up to three old devices per device type may be returned, provided they do not exceed 25 cm in any external dimension. When purchasing a new electrical or electronic device, an old device of the same device type that essentially fulfills the same function will be taken back.

You can also return waste electrical equipment free of charge by post, although any applicable dangerous goods regulations must be observed. For returns, we will provide you with a free return label (info@wetec.de or Tel. 02196-97562-0).

The waste electrical equipment can be returned to the following address:

Wetec Werkzeughandel und technischer Bedarf GmbH & Co. KG
Dönges-Straße 1
42929 Wermelskirchen

If the old electrical or electronic device contains personal data, you are responsible for deleting it before returning the device.

If possible without destroying the device, please remove old batteries or rechargeable batteries as well as old lamps before returning it for disposal and dispose of them separately.

Disposal of Waste Batteries / Information on the Battery Act

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste at the end of their life cycle, but must be collected separately by the end user.

Under this symbol, the following markings may additionally appear, indicating the presence of certain substances:

• Pb = battery contains more than 0.004% lead by mass
• Cd = battery contains more than 0.002% cadmium by mass
• Hg = battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury by mass

Substances, e.g. of a chemical nature, may harm the environment and human health if stored or disposed of improperly. At the same time, recyclable raw materials may be contained.

You may return used batteries to us or to designated collection points (e.g. public collection facilities in your municipality or retail stores) free of charge.

You may also return batteries by post free of charge, although any applicable dangerous goods regulations must be observed. For returns, we will provide you with a free return label (info@wetec.de or Tel. 02196-97562-0).

The return is limited to waste batteries of the type that we carry or have carried as new batteries in our product range, as well as to quantities typically disposed of by end users.
