18.1 Cycle
Do not dispose of your cycle in household waste. Take it to a municipal collection point
or a recycling centre.
Alternatively, there are also collections organised by local councils and private
organisations. Contact your local council about this or refer to postal information.
18.2 Electronic components and accessories
Replaced or defective LED headlamps, LED rear lamps or hub dynamos, as well as
accessories such as bike computers or navigation devices, must also be disposed of
separately.
Take parts and devices of this kind to a municipal collection point or a recycling centre.
18.3 Packaging
The packaging used to protect your cycle during shipping, called transport packaging,
can generally be left with your dealer. All other types of packaging must be sorted and
disposed of separately. Dispose of cardboard along with waste paper and film in your
recycling collection, or ask your dealer about disposal.
18.4 Tyres and inner tubes
Tyres and inner tubes must not be disposed of in household waste.
Ask your dealer whether they take care of collection and disposal, or take these items to
a recycling centre or municipal collection point.
18.5 Lubricants and care products
Do not dispose of lubricants and care products in household waste, into the sewer system
or into the environment. They must be taken to a hazardous waste collection point.
Also follow the notes included on the packaging of such products.
