The disposal of the old equipment must be assured by the manufacturer. Therefore, signing a contract with a waste disposal contractor is practically unavoidable. The EAR, which is responsible for the coordination of collections and for giving the information to the manufactures, does not take geographical location into account. Therefore, it could happen that a manufacturer in Munich is required to collect a container on Rügen and dispose of the contents correctly.
The sequence of the collection orders is decided on by an algorithm running on an EAR server. While manufacturers with high volumes often have to collect containers, small manufacturers are rarely instructed to collect one. Because it is so random, it is possible that the container you collect contains none of your products.
Which waste disposal contractor is the right one is not an easy question to answer. It is important the contractor is active across the country and complies with the regulations of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act. Many companies focus on the lowest price, while others put more value on the waste being disposed of within Germany. For others, a social responsibility aspect plays a major role.
