Battery recycling information for the European Union
Batteries or packaging for batteries are labeled in accordance with
European Directive 2006/66/EC concerning batteries and
accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. The Directive
determines the framework for the return and recycling of used
batteries and accumulators as applicable throughout the European
Union. This label is applied to various batteries to indicate that the
Electrical and electronic equipment marked with the symbol
of a crossed-out wheeled bin may not be disposed as
unsorted municipal waste. Waste of electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE) shall be treated separately using the
collection framework available to customers for the return,
recycling, and treatment of WEEE.
Country-specific information is available at:

battery is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life
per this Directive.
In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries and
accumulators are labeled to indicate that they are to be collected
separately and recycled at end of life. The label on the battery may
also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery
(Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium). Users of batteries
and accumulators must not dispose of batteries and accumulators as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available
to customers for the return, recycling, and treatment of batteries and
accumulators. Customer participation is important to minimize any
potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment
and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous
substances. For proper collection and treatment, go to:
