Take‑back of old electrical equipment and batteries

What the crossed‑out wheeled bin means

This symbol on a product, its packaging or its documents means that at the end of its life the product must not be thrown away with mixed household waste.

Do not throw them into mixed waste

Electrical and electronic equipment and batteries must not be disposed of as mixed municipal waste. Hand them in for separate collection.

Free take‑back

When you buy new electrical equipment from us, we take back your old equipment of the same type and function free of charge, one for one.

We take back waste portable batteries free of charge, whether or not you buy anything from us.

Where to hand them in

You can hand them in free of charge at our registered office:

Write to us at info@ropere.com

Tell us what you want to hand in (for equipment, also your order number) and we will agree on a time with you.

Public collection points

You can also hand in old electrical equipment and batteries free of charge at a public collection point, such as a municipal collection yard or a collection box in a shop.

Why separate collection matters

Electrical equipment and batteries can contain substances harmful to health and the environment, as well as valuable raw materials. Separate collection keeps the harmful substances out of the environment and allows the materials to be recycled.
