Recycling: old equipment, batteries and packaging (WEEE)
Version of 18 October 2026. Information for consumers on the separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries and packaging (Directive 2012/19/EU and Romanian GEO 5/2015; Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries; packaging legislation).
1. The crossed-out wheeled bin
Electrical and electronic equipment, and batteries, carry or are described with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin. It means they must not be thrown away with household waste: electrical and electronic equipment is collected separately so that harmful substances are handled properly and materials are recovered. Please hand them in at a collection point.
2. Handing in your old equipment
- When you buy a new product of an equivalent type (same function) you can hand in the old one free of charge, one for one. For online orders delivered in Romania, tell us at checkout (the option in the delivery step, shown for the products that allow it) and the courier collects the old equipment free of charge when the new product is delivered; you can also hand it in at the working point below. The equipment must be complete and cleared of personal data, and of the same type as the product bought.
- Very small equipment (no external dimension above 25 cm) can be handed in without buying new, at a collection point of a retailer with a large sales area; we are an online shop, so use the municipal collection points or those of the producers' organisations.
- Our working point accepting old equipment: București, Șos. Vitan-Bârzești 9A, corp E, sector 4, România.
Delete your personal data from devices (for example a head unit with saved addresses or phone pairings) before you hand them in.
3. Batteries and accumulators
Where a product contains a battery that you can take out, remove it before disposal and hand it in separately. Spent batteries must not go into household waste: they contain substances that harm the environment and health, and materials that can be recovered. The symbol with a chemical letter (Pb, Cd, Hg) shows a metal above the legal limit. Retailers of batteries take back spent portable batteries free of charge; you can hand them in at our working point too.
4. Packaging
Sort cardboard, paper, plastic and metal packaging into the separate recycling bins; the marks on the packaging show the material. We re-use shipping cartons where we can. The packaging we place on the market is declared and the packaging contribution is paid under the Romanian packaging legislation; the registration number is available on request.
5. What the price includes; registration numbers
The prices shown include the producers' contributions to the collection and recycling of waste equipment. We do not add a separate visible "green stamp" fee. Where we place equipment on the Romanian market ourselves we are registered as a WEEE producer under number RO-EEE-2295-2026-04-16; for the other products the producer or importer holds the registration and pays the equipment and battery contributions. The registration numbers for batteries and for packaging in Romania, and those in the other states to which we deliver, are available on request at contact@be-loud.eu.
