The EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) regu-
lates the return and recycling of waste electri-
cal and electronics equipment. As of
13/08/2005, manufacturers of electrical and
electronics equipment are obliged to take
back and recycle any electrical devices sold
after this date for no charge. After that date,
electrical de-vices must not be disposed of
through the "normal" waste disposal chan-
nels. Electrical devices must be disposed of
and recycled separately. All devices that fall
under this directive must feature this logo.
Disposing of used batteries
As an end user, you are legally obliged (by
the relevant laws concerning battery dis-
posal) to return all used batteries. Disposal
with normal household waste is prohib-
ited!
Contaminant-laden batteries are labelled with
the adjacent symbol which indicates the pro-
hibition of disposal with normal household
waste.
The abbreviations used for heavy metals are:
Cd = Cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
You can return your used batteries for no
charge to collection points in your community
or everywhere where batteries are sold!
