In Germany, it's illegal to throw out electronic waste in regular trash bins, a situation compounded by the fact that residents generate more e-waste per capita than the European average. Hence, responsible disposal is critical for minimizing environmental impact. Numerous accessible options are available for disposing of e-waste legally, especially at supermarkets and electronics retailers, which are mandated to accept small electronic devices free of charge. This legislation ensures that residents can easily discard unwanted electronics without breaching the law.
In Germany, throwing electronic waste in mixed trash is illegal; supermarkets and electronics stores act as designated drop-off points to safely dispose of e-waste.
German residents produce 12.5 kg of e-waste per person yearly, exceeding the European average of 10.5 kg, highlighting an urgent need for responsible disposal.
