INFORMATIONEN FÜR PRIVATE HAUSHALTE
1. Getrennte Erfassung von Altgeräten:
Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte, die zu Abfall geworden sind, werden als
Altgeräte bezeichnet. Besitzer von Altgeräten haben diese einer vom
unsortierten Siedlungsabfall getrennten Erfassung zuzuführen. Altgeräte
gehören insbesondere nicht in den Hausmüll, sondern in spezielle Sammel-
und Rückgabesysteme.
2. Batterien und Akkus sowie Lampen:
Besitzer von Altgeräten haben Altbatterien und Altakkumulatoren, die nicht
vom Altgerät umschlossen sind, die zerstörungsfrei aus dem Altgerät
entnommen werden können, im Regelfall vor der Abgabe an einer
Erfassungsstelle vom Altgerät zu trennen. Dies gilt nicht, soweit Altgeräte
einer Vorbereitung zur Wiederverwendung unter Beteiligung eines öffentlich-
rechtlichen Entsorgungsträgers zugeführt werden.
3. Möglichkeiten der Rückgabe von Altgeräten:
Besitzer von Altgeräten aus privaten Haushalten können diese bei den
Sammelstellen der öffentlich-rechtlichen Entsorgungsträger oder bei den
von Herstellern oder Vertreibern im Sinne des ElektroG eingerichteten
Rücknahmestellen unentgeltlich abgeben. Rücknahmepflichtig sind
Geschäfte mit einer Verkaufsfläche von mindestens 400 m² für Elektro- und
Elektronikgeräte sowie diejenigen Lebensmittelgeschäfte mit einer
Gesamtverkaufsfläche von mindestens 800 m², die mehrmals pro Jahr oder
dauerhaft Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte anbieten und auf dem Markt
bereitstellen. Dies gilt auch bei Vertrieb unter Verwendung von

Firefighting Thermal Camera • User Manual
v
Fernkommunikationsmitteln, wenn die Lager- und Versandflächen für
Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte mindestens 400 m² betragen oder die
gesamten Lager- und Versandflächen mindestens 800 m² betragen.
Vertreiber haben die Rücknahme grundsätzlich durch geeignete
Rückgabemöglichkeiten in zumutbarer Entfernung zum jeweiligen
Endnutzer zu gewährleisten. Die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen Rückgabe
eines Altgerätes besteht bei rücknahmepflichtigen Vertreibern unter
anderem dann, wenn ein neues gleichartiges Gerät, das im Wesentlichen die
gleichen Funktionen erfüllt, an einen Endnutzer abgegeben wird.
4. Datenschutz-Hinweis:
Altgeräte enthalten häufig sensible personenbezogene Daten. Dies gilt
insbesondere für Geräte der Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnik
wie Computer und Smartphones. Bitte beachten Sie in Ihrem eigenen
Interesse, dass für die Löschung der Daten auf den zu entsorgenden
Altgeräten jeder Endnutzer selbst verantwortlich ist.
5. Bedeutung des Symbols „durchgestrichene Mülltonne“:
Das auf Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten regelmäßig abgebildete
Symbol einer durchgestrichenen Mülltonne weist darauf hin, dass
das jeweilige Gerät am Ende seiner Lebensdauer getrennt vom
unsortierten Siedlungsabfall zu erfassen ist.
