WHAT TO DO WITH OLD MOBILE PHONES, REFRIGERATORS, ETC.?
ELEKTRO-ADE EXPLAINS THE PROCESS AND HELPS YOU FIND YOUR NEAREST COLLECTION CENTRE!
Not even the smallest electrical appliances and electronic devices should be thrown in the household rubbish – they’re far too valuable! “Small devices” include any appliance or device with an edge length of less than 50 cm. When properly collected and professionally processed, they are a source of many important raw materials.Weiterlesen

What do I do with a broken washing machine or an old refrigerator?
There are a number of options for the proper collection, disposal and reuse of broken or unwanted appliances.
All of them are free for consumers – and good for our environment.Weiterlesen

Your mobile phone has served you well for years,
but now it’s old and outdated.
When properly collected, old mobile phones can still be reused.
Through proper recycling of broken mobile phones, lots of valuable raw materials can be recovered.Weiterlesen

Have the lights gone out? Energy-saving bulbs and fluorescent tubes contain mercury, so they don’t belong in the bin with household rubbish. Instead, they must be separated from other rubbish and protected from breaking, then dropped off at collection centres (also known as “Mistplätze” or “Recyclinghöfe” in Austria).Weiterlesen

Batteries contain a variety of valuable raw materials – and hazardous materials too.
Therefore, they must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
Instead, they should be returned to the shop or to your local
collection centre.Weiterlesen

From July onwards, new battery collection boxes with a uniform design will be available for you to return your used (recyclable) batteries in all Austrian supermarkets, specialist electronics stores, drugstores, etc. HER MIT LEER (RECYCLE) is the slogan of HERMIT, the character on the new, white cardboard boxes. All companies that sell batteries also have to take back used batteries, whether you buy more or not. So all you have to do is take your used batteries and smaller rechargeable batteries along with you when you’re next heading to the store. The collection boxes are usually located at the checkout counter, in the entrance area, or on the packing tables.
The (rechargeable) batteries can be thrown into the collection boxes without any need for sorting. But please note that you may only return small and completely undamaged (rechargeable) batteries using the boxes!
How do I recognize damaged (rechargeable) batteries?
A damaged lithium battery is recognizable by the likes of deformations and melting points on the housing, leaking liquid or excessive heat generation even when switched off. Even the smallest instance of damage to the internal rechargeable battery separators, which is not visible from the outside, can lead to short-circuits and thus to spontaneous combustion. So used lithium rechargeable batteries (from the likes of cell phones or cameras) and monobloc batteries should be protected against short-circuits before disposal by masking off the battery terminals.

Sommerzeit ist Partyzeit 🥳
Wenn es finster wird, sorgen bunte Lichterketten für romantisches Flair. Doch wohin mit den kaputten Leuchtkörpern? 💡 Energiespar- und LED-Lampen dürfen keinesfalls in den Restmüll, denn sie enthalten neben gesundheitsschädigenden Stoffen wie Quecksilber auch wertvolle Rohstoffe, die recycelt werden können. Deshalb ab zur Sammelstelle damit. ... MehrWeniger

Wenn‘s tierisch schwül und heiß ist, stehen Mini-Ventilatoren hoch im Kurs. 😺 Wenn sie kaputt sind, haben sie jedoch nichts im Restmüll verloren. Denn auch kleinste Elektrogeräte enthalten Rohstoffe und Batterien/Akkus, die zur Sammelstelle gebracht werden sollen.
Hier findest du die rund 2000 kommunalen Sammelstellen in Österreich 👉 bit.ly/3dz6i6q ... MehrWeniger

Schaut aus wie mein Rocky 🥰🥰
Batterien raus aus dem Restmüll!
Altbatterien richtig entsorgen: überall im Handel, wo Sie Batterien kaufen können und bei den Sammelstellen Ihrer Gemeinde.
