CAUTION
Disposing of electrical or electronic devices at the end of their life (applicable in
all countries of the European Union and in other European systems with separate
collection systems)
Specifically, consumers must not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but must dispose
of this type of waste separately, in two possible ways:
1) At municipal collection centres (also called Eco-pitches, ecological islands), directly or
via the collection services of municipal companies, where these are available.
2) At sales outlets selling new electrical and electronic equipment.
Here, very small WEEE can be left free of charge (with the longest side less than 25 cm),
while larger ones can be left on a 1-on-1 basis, i.e. you can leave the old product when a
new one with the same function is purchased.
Should you dispose of electrical or electronic equipment in an illegal manner, the
penalties provided for by current legislation on environmental protection may be applied
(valid only for Italy).
If WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, these must be removed and disposed of via
specific separate waste collection.
This symbol on the product or on the packaging indicates that the

disposal. Recycling of materials helps to conserve natural resources.

theregulations in force in the country of use.
