for the handling of electrical and electronic
equipment. The most important ones are listed here.
1. Separate collection of old appliances
Electrical and electronic equipment that has become

WEEE must have it collected separately from unsorted
municipal waste. In particular, old appliances must
not be disposed of with household waste, but in
special collection and return systems.
2. Batteries and accumulators
Owners of WEEE must normally separate used
batteries and accumulators which are not enclosed
by the WEEE from WEEE before returning them to a
collection point. This does not apply if the old
appliances are handed over to public waste
management authorities and separated from other
