Disposal of electrical and electronic equip-
ment and batteries and/or accumulators
(a) All electrical/electronic equipment and waste
batteries/accumulators should be disposed of
separately from the municipal waste stream via
collection facilities designated by the government
or local authorities.
(b) By disposing of electrical/electronic equipment
and waste batteries/accumulators correctly, you
will help save valuable resources and prevent any
potential negative effects on human health and the
environment.
(c) Improper disposal of waste electrical/electronic
equipment and batteries/accumulators can have
serious effects on the environment and human
health because of the presence of hazardous sub-
stances in the equipment.
(d) The Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) symbols, which show
wheeled bins that have been crossed
out, indicate that electrical/electronic
equipment and batteries/accumulators
must be collected and disposed of sepa-
rately from household waste.
If a battery or accumulator contains more
than the specified values of lead (Pb),
mercury (Hg), and/or cadmium (Cd) as
defined in the Battery Directive (2006/66/
EC), then the chemical symbols for those
elements will be indicated beneath the WEEE
symbol.
(e) Return and collection systems are available to end
users. For more detailed information about the
disposal of old electrical/electronic equipment and
waste batteries/accumulators, please contact your
city office, waste disposal service or the shop where
you purchased the equipment.
