The latter does not apply if the waste equipment is separated from other waste equipment in accordance with Section 14 (5) sentences 2 and 3 ElektroG as part of the opt-in by the public waste management authorities for the purpose of preparing it for reuse. Owners can use the symbol in Annex 3 of the ElektroG to identify old appliances that are to be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste. The symbol for the separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment represents a crossed-out wheeled garbage can and is designed as follows: 2. information on the options for returning waste equipment: Owners of old appliances can hand them in at the facilities set up and available by public waste disposal authorities for the return or collection of old appliances to ensure that they are disposed of properly.
