Struck through dustbin has the following meaning: Batteries may not be disposed of with household waste. If under this symbol one of the following chemical signs is depicted: Pb – Battery contains lead, Cd – Battery contains cadmium, Hg – Battery contains mercury, this means, in general, that the battery contains this metal and that the statutory threshold is exceeded.
Batteries may not be disposed of with household waste. Batteries may contain pollutants that could cause harm to the environment or health. As our valued Customer, please return batteries after use to POLO or deliver batteries to communal collection areas or specialised dealers. The return off batteries is free of charge and required by law. All batteries will be reused. This procedure ensures recycling of precious raw materials and the protection of the environment and health.
Consumers are obliged to return starter batteries to the seller of the battery or a communal collection area.
POLO, as well as all other distributors of starter batteries, are obliged by law, Section 10 German Batteries Act [BattG], to collect a deposit of EUR 7.50 from each consumer, who purchases a starter battery. Payment of the deposit is shown on the invoice. For this reason, POLO’s prices for batteries are plus deposit, if applicable. Battery Deposit Return / Reimbursement
The German dangerous goods regulation [Gefahrengutverordnung] does not permit return of waste batteries by mail or carrier. For this reason, the following return options are available to the consumer: Waste batteries may be returned to any POLO Store or to any communal collection area. After the return of the waste battery, the Customer sends the return receipt per fax (+49 (0)2165/8440450), as scanned document per e-mail (info@polo-motorrad.com) or via mail to the POLO European Headquarters, address POLO Motorrad und Sportswear GmbH, Polostr. 1, 41363 Jüchen. POLO will then reimburse the battery deposit.

The Customer may return the same quantity of waste oils to POLO as the Customer purchased from POLO. All POLO Stores accept the return of waste oils. Customers may return waste oils during customary business hours at any time according to the quantities purchased from POLO. Alternatively, Customers may also send waste oils to our collection sites or our central warehouse, Polostr. 1, 41363 Jüchen. Shipping costs are borne by the Customer.
