Electric and electronic goods carrying the WEEE
label must be taken to a municipal recycling
centre.
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE)
contains materials, components and substances
which may be hazardous to human health and
the environment if the WEEE waste is not
disposed of correctly.
Electrical and electronic products carry the
crossed-out wheelie bin label below. The
crossed-out wheelie bin symbolises that waste
electrical and electronic equipment must
not be disposed of in the household waste
stream, but must be collected separately. For
this purpose, municipalities have established
collection schemes where waste electrical and
electronic equipment may be taken free of
charge by citizens to household waste recycling
centres or approved authorised treatment
facilities (AATFs)—or collected directly from
households. For more information, contact
your local authority's environment and planning
department.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment
must not dispose of waste electrical and
electronic equipment with their normal household
refuse. They must use the local authority
collection schemes to reduce the impact on the
environment from the disposal of waste electrical
and electronic equipment.
