Battery disposal
Waste batteries and waste rechargeable batteries do not belong in household waste. Please take them separately to a collection point for waste batteries. Separate collection makes recycling possible and prevents harmful substances from entering the environment. The rules on this are laid down in the EU Batteries Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
Collection points in Luxembourg
In Luxembourg, you can hand in portable batteries and batteries from e-bikes and other light means of transport free of charge: at the collection points of the resource centres (recycling centres), at the mobile collections of the SuperDrecksKëscht and at collection points in shops and other establishments. Your municipality and the SuperDrecksKëscht can tell you about locations and dates.
Information on battery collection from the Luxembourg Environment Agency (in French)
In other countries, your municipality can tell you where the collection points near you are.
Cells removed in the course of our orders
We dispose of the cells that we remove during a repair or cell replacement properly via a collection point for waste batteries. You do not need to take care of this. We do not offer a general take-back of waste batteries; please use the collection points for this purpose.
Markings
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on batteries means: do not dispose of with household waste, collect separately. Chemical symbols for heavy metals contained in the battery may appear below the symbol:
- Cd: The battery contains more than 0.002 % cadmium.
- Pb: The battery contains more than 0.004 % lead.
Damaged or swollen batteries
Do not continue to use, charge or ship batteries that are damaged, swollen or have become unusually hot. Contact us or the collection point beforehand and discuss how to hand them in safely. Further information can be found under Care and safety.
