   You can register for battery disposal free of charge at the following link: www.wirsammelnbatterien.de
   You then have a choice of different take-back systems.

   Here, recycling also takes place via www.wirsammelnbatterien.de (see point 1).
3. Lead-acid industrial batteries, e.g. AGM, gel or pure lead batteries
   We will gladly take care of the free collection and recycling of your lead batteries. Once your disposal palox is filled, please send us an order for collection or exchange for a new, empty palox. Please use the following PDF for this purpose: Abholauftrag Bleibatterien.pdf
