Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains
materials, components and substances that may
be hazardous and present a risk to human health
and the environment when waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) is not handled
correctly.
Equipment marked with the below crossed-out
wheeled bin is electrical and electronic equipment.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates
that waste electrical and electronic equipment
should not be discarded together with unseparated
household waste, but must be collected separately.
For this purpose all local authorities have
established collection schemes under which
residents can dispose waste electrical and
electronic equipment at a recycling centre or other
collection points, or WEEE will be collected directly
from households. More detailed information is
available from the technical administration of the
relevant local authority.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment must
not discard WEEE together with household waste.
Residents must use the municipal collection
schemes to reduce adverse environmental impacts
in connection with disposal of waste electrical and
electronic equipment and to increase opportunities
for reuse, recycling and recovery of waste electrical
and electronic equipment.
