TAKE-BACK OF WASTE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

We are committed to environmentally responsible behavior and therefore provide you with options for disposing of your end-of-life electrical equipment easily and free of charge.

Consumers play a crucial role in the system for handling electrical equipment. It is up to them to decide what to do with an old appliance. Old and unwanted electrical equipment does not belong in unsorted municipal waste. Instead, it should be handed over through designated collection points, known as take-back points, from where it is sent for reuse or recycling.

Consumers must be informed by the symbols below that the electrical equipment in question must not be disposed of with household waste. All new electrical equipment is marked with such symbols. The symbol may appear directly on the device, on its packaging, in the user manual or in the warranty certificate.

How to dispose of an old appliance?

• private individuals can use the service: BUĎ LÍNÝ or Rebalík
• legal entities can use: Collection service for registered partners
• via the public collection network of REMA Systém, a.s., intended for the take-back of electrical equipment
• via the public collection network intended for take-back, available on the website of the Ministry of the Environment (ISOH 2)
• if needed, you can seek advice on the free hotline of Chytré recyklace (800 976 679)

Why recycle?

Electrical equipment contains many recyclable materials, such as plastics, glass and metals (zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cadmium, lead, etc.). Some of these substances are also highly hazardous to the environment and human health, especially mercury, lead and cadmium.

By handing over electrical equipment to a take-back point, we help conserve primary raw material resources through material recycling and at the same time protect the environment from improper handling and subsequent pollution.

Improper disposal of this type of waste may be subject to fines in accordance with national regulations.

TAKE-BACK OF END-OF-LIFE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT / BATTERIES

We are committed to being environmentally friendly, so we provide you with easy and free ways to dispose of your end-of-life electrical equipment/batteries.

The consumer plays a crucial role in the system for handling electrical appliances and portable batteries. It is the consumer who decides what to do with the old appliance/battery. Old and unwanted electrical equipment and batteries do not belong in unsorted municipal waste, but should be handed over to collection points, so-called take-back points, from which they are sent for reuse or recycling.

The consumer must be informed by the symbols below that the electrical equipment/batteries concerned do not belong in municipal waste. All new electrical equipment/batteries are marked accordingly. The symbol may be indicated directly on the equipment, on its packaging, in the instructions for use or on the warranty card.

Why recycle?

Not only electrical equipment, but also batteries contain many recyclable metals such as zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cadmium and lead. Some of these substances are also very dangerous for the environment and human health, especially mercury, lead and cadmium. Selected batteries are often marked with the symbol of the chemical element they contain (Pb, Cd, Hg).

By taking batteries and electrical equipment to a take-back point, we save primary raw material resources, especially by recycling the material, and at the same time protect our environment from possible improper disposal.

Unused batteries that are not handed over for recycling through take-back points, but are stored, for example, in office drawers or elsewhere in households or companies, can cause fires. Lithium batteries in particular have this property. With regard to safety, it is therefore very important to recycle used batteries as soon as possible.

The most common types of batteries, their designation and use:
