Outdated appliances should be collected
separately to optimise component material
recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent
potential harm to human health and the
environment. The symbol of a rubbish
container superimposed by a diagonal cross
should be put on all such products to remind
people of their obligation to have such items
collected separately.
Consumers should contact their local
authorities or point of sale and request
information on the appropriate places to
leave their old home electrical appliances.
Before disposing of your appliance, render it
non-usable by pulling out the power cable,
cutting this and disposing of it.
