washing machine disposal in Germany

Electrical devices contain hazardous substances. Please dispose of them at a hazardous waste or old electrical device collection point.

Why

• Washing machines are classified as old electrical devices and must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
• They must not be disposed of as general or bulky waste because they contain harmful substances.
• You can drop them off at your local Wertstoffhof (recycling centre) or an electrical device take-back point.

Before you throw it away

• Unplug the power cord and disconnect the device from the power supply.
• Close the water inlets and remove the hoses.
• Secure the door and drum to prevent damage.
