Notes on disposing of catalytic converters Tail
- with CODE (620) Vehicles with catalytic converters


Catalytic converters must not be disposed of as regular scrap. The catalytic converter contains valuable rare metals, which can be recycled in the production process.

Since 01.1989, DaimlerChrysler has offered a return facility with a refund payment for old catalytic convertors.

Catalytic converters have been included in the exchange price list (valid as of 02.01.1989) and provided with the footnote "Order new parts - delivery of exchange parts not possible".
