Meaning of battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out garbage can (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. For batteries that contain more than 0.0005% by weight of mercury, more than 0.002% by weight of cadmium, or more than 0.004% by weight of lead, the chemical symbol of the respective pollutant used is located beneath the garbage can symbol - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" stands for mercury.
