disposal of electric and electronic equipment (ElektroG) from 16.03.2005), used machines are to be
placed in a collection system separate from unsorted municipal waste. The public waste management
utilities (communities) have created collection points at which used equipment from private
households can be disposed of free of charge.
• Information about giving back used equipment or about collections can be obtained from the
respective municipal administration office.
• EWM participates in an approved waste disposal and recycling system and is registered in the Used
Electrical Equipment Register (EAR) under number WEEE DE 57686922.
