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 taken by the end user to a separate collection system.

Free collection points for waste electrical equipment as well as additional drop-off points for the reuse of devices may be available in your area. You can obtain the 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 can be returned, provided that none of their external dimensions exceeds 25 cm. When purchasing a new electrical or electronic device, an old device of the same type that essentially performs the same function as the new device will be taken back.

You may also return waste electrical equipment free of charge by mail, provided that any applicable dangerous goods regulations are observed. We will provide you with a free return shipping label upon request (info@doenges-online.de or Tel. 02196 / 9756-0).

Waste electrical equipment can be returned to the following address:

Dönges 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 old electrical or electronic device, please remove old batteries or rechargeable batteries as well as old lamps before returning it for disposal, and take these to a separate collection system.

Disposal of Used Batteries / Information on the Battery Act
