Batteries:

Since our shipments may contain batteries and rechargeable batteries, we are obliged under the Battery Act (BattG) to inform you of the following: Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with household waste; you are legally required to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries. Used batteries may contain harmful substances which, if not stored or disposed of properly, can harm the environment or your health. However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese, or nickel and can be recycled. You can return the batteries to us after use or return them free of charge in your immediate vicinity (e.g., in stores, at municipal collection points, or at our shipping warehouse). The return at sales outlets is limited for end users to the usual quantities as well as those used batteries that the distributor carries or has carried as new batteries in its range.
