with the corresponding local regulations and requirements for electrical
appliances and packaging. Please contact your local disposal company.

separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding
the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills,
dumps, or refuse incineration, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater or
can be emitted into air, thus getting into the food chain, and damaging your health
