and electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both polluting substances (that can have a
negative effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be reused). It is important that
the WEEE undergo specific treatements to correctly remove and dispose of the pollutants and
recover all the materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that the WEEE do not
become an environmental problem; it is essential to follow a few basic rules;
- The WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
- The WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a
registered company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a new
appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor who must accept it free of charge as one-off,
as long as the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the purchased
appliance.
