Bathtub Safety Rail Contenido Disposal

13. Disposal

Disposing of the packaging

Sort the packaging before you dispose of it. Dispose of cardboard and carton as waste paper and foils via the recyclable material collection service. Please ensure your recycling information does apply to the local regulations and the EPA recommendations (www.epa.gov).

Disposing of the rail

Old devices must not be disposed of with household waste!

If the device can no longer be used, every user is required by law to dispose of old devices separately from their household waste, e.g. at a collection point in their community/borough. This ensures that old devices are recycled in a professional manner and also rules out negative consequences for the environment.
