Disposal
Return it right.
Modernhunter products are available in the Modernhunter shop and from specialist retailers. Electrical devices, batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be put in household waste. Here you can find out what to keep in mind when returning them and where you can hand them in free of charge.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries
Your obligation to return them
You are legally obliged to return waste batteries separately from household waste. This applies to all batteries, single-use and rechargeable alike.
Free return
You can return waste batteries free of charge:
- at collection boxes in shops, for example in supermarkets, drugstores and DIY stores,
- at municipal collection points or recycling centres,
- to us: we take back batteries of the type we sell in the Modernhunter shop free of charge. Please write to support@modernhunter-solutions.com first. We will tell you a collection point near you or the return address. Lithium batteries may only be shipped with their terminals taped.
What the symbols mean
The crossed-out wheeled bin means: do not dispose of with household waste. If Pb, Cd or Hg is printed below it, the battery contains more than 0.004 % lead, more than 0.002 % cadmium or more than 0.0005 % mercury.
Why this matters
Batteries contain substances such as heavy metals and flammable electrolytes. If they end up in household waste or in nature, they can pollute soil and water and harm human health. When collected separately, raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and zinc are recycled. By returning your batteries, you contribute directly to this.
Fire risk with lithium batteries
Damaged or incorrectly disposed lithium batteries can catch fire, including in refuse trucks and sorting plants. Tape the terminals before handing them in. Return swollen or damaged batteries as soon as possible and do not store them next to flammable objects until then.
Use longer, waste less
Rechargeable batteries instead of single-use batteries avoid a lot of waste. Only charge them with a suitable charger, store them in a cool and dry place and remove them from the camera if you will not use it for a longer period. Do not mix old and new cells in one device.
Waste electrical and electronic equipment
Dispose of separately
Trail cameras, solar panels and other electrical accessories must not be put in household waste. The crossed-out wheeled bin on the device also indicates this.
Remove batteries first
Remove batteries from the device before handing it in, provided they can be removed without destroying the device, and dispose of them separately. Devices with a permanently installed battery are handed in as a whole. Do not try to remove the battery yourself.
Delete your data
You are responsible for deleting personal data before disposal. Remove the SD card and the SIM card from the camera and remove the camera from your account in the Modernhunter app.
Free return
Municipal collection points accept waste equipment free of charge. Large electrical retailers are also obliged to take back small waste equipment free of charge. We also take back devices from our own range. Please write to support@modernhunter-solutions.com first.
