This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste.

For batteries containing more than:

• 0.0005 percent by mass of mercury (Hg)
• 0.002 percent by mass of cadmium (Cd)
• 0.004 percent by mass of lead (Pb)

the chemical designation of the respective pollutant used is located below the wheeled bin symbol – "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.

Please observe the above information!
