Waste electrical and electronic equipment and waste batteries
To help protect the environment, we explain how to return waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries and rechargeable batteries. This information describes collection arrangements in Poland for superelektronika.pl.
1. Separate collection and the crossed-out bin symbol
Do not dispose of waste equipment or batteries with unsorted municipal waste. The crossed-out bin on a product or its packaging indicates separate collection.
Take this waste to an authorised collection point. Proper handling reduces risks to health and the environment and allows materials to be recovered.
2. Free equipment take-back when buying a replacement
When you buy new equipment, we take back household waste equipment free of charge at the point of sale if it is of the same type and performed the same functions as the equipment sold.
For example, when buying a power supply covered by WEEE rules, you can return a waste power supply of the same type and with the same functions.
3. Collection at the delivery address
When delivering equipment intended for households, we provide free collection of household waste equipment at the delivery location if it is of the same type and performed the same functions as the equipment delivered.
To help arrange collection, please contact us preferably before dispatch. Provide your order number, the type of waste equipment and its approximate dimensions. Advance contact is for organisational purposes; failing to contact us in advance does not remove your statutory right to free take-back.
4. Other equipment collection points
WEEE can be taken to municipal separate waste collection points (PSZOK in Poland) or other authorised collectors. Check your municipality’s website for addresses and acceptance rules.
In Poland, shops with at least 400 m² of sales area dedicated to household electrical equipment must accept household WEEE with no external dimension exceeding 25 cm free of charge, in or immediately near the shop, without a new purchase. This is a general rule for premises meeting that condition.
5. Waste batteries and rechargeable batteries
Collect batteries separately and take them to designated collection points, municipal facilities or other authorised locations.
For battery categories we offer or have offered as batteries, we take back waste batteries free of charge without requiring a new purchase, regardless of brand, origin or chemical composition. For portable batteries, this obligation covers quantities normally discarded by non-professional end-users.
For battery sales with delivery, free take-back is offered at the delivery location or a local collection point; information about arrangements is provided when ordering. Contact us to agree on the appropriate handover method.
The take-back rules for batteries alone do not require an entire product containing a battery to be accepted on the same terms. Return devices with built-in batteries under the rules applicable to that equipment. Do not remove a battery unless it can be done safely in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Safe preparation for handover
Do not open, dismantle, crush or damage batteries. Damaged, leaking or swollen batteries, especially lithium batteries, require special handling: report their condition before handover and arrange safe collection. Do not send them as an ordinary parcel without agreeing on transport conditions.
Do not dismantle waste equipment yourself. Where possible and safe, erase personal data and remove memory cards and SIM cards before handing over a device.
