Environmental information

Recycling

The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the manufacturing process.  This product 
may contain substances known to be hazardous to the environment or to human health.

To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural resources, Gateway provides 
the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of the materials in your “end of life” product.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be disposed of in the municipal waste 
stream (residential garbage collection).  The “Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed to this product is your reminder to 
dispose of your “end of life” product properly.

Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable, and reusable.  You 
can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:

When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back” to your local or regional waste collection 
administration for recycling.

In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the purchase of new Gateway equipment.  Call 
Gateway to see if this program is available in your area.

If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” product, you may contact us at the Customer 
Care number listed in your product’s user guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the energy-saving features of 
this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, 
and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.

With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic equipment, minimize the 
use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially 
hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
