nearest recycling centre or from your dealer.

- Some onboard equipment can have a toxic effect on the environment and on human health due to the specific
substances they contain: Do not throw any equipment in household waste containers and absolutely never dispose of
equipment in the sea.

be recycled separately. Contact the harbour master or a specialist company about recycling them.

of the black water tank near the coast or in areas
where this is forbidden. Use the pump-out

regulations to prevent pollution in the marine
environment (MARPOL Convention) and follow
these as much as possible.
