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 2.1.1989, 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 2.1.1989) and provided with the footnote "Order new parts - delivery of exchange parts not possible".
Details about returns addresses and final change prices can be taken from "Information about parts and accessories".
