designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at
the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure
that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the
environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste

4) Registration and Reporting
HP fulfils all legal requirements resulting from the transposition of the WEEE
Directive in member states’ legislations and registers with national authorities, on
time, in all relevant countries/regions. Registration and enforcement dates are
country dependant. HP also ensures that any information required for the
calculation of HP’s producer obligations is provided as of the date
specified in national/regional legislation.
5) WEEE from private households
According to the timelines and requirements of member state WEEE
legislation, HP fulfills its obligations for the financing of collection,
treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from private
households deposited at collection facilities. To assist with this and to
ensure fair competition in the market for recycling of electronic equipment, HP
has established the European Recycling Platform (ERP). In Austria, France,
Germany, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Spain and UK ERP is HP’s preferred
recycling scheme. In the other EU countries, HP has either joined a compliance
scheme authorised for that country or HP has submitted individual waste
management plan(s) in order for their own system to be authorised by the
country/region. Where member state legislation requires it, HP provides an
appropriate guarantee for the management of WEEE resulting from HP
branded product placed on the market after 13
th
August 2005.

by HP, we will ensure the proper recycling of waste resulting from any
brand of non-consumer electrical and/or electronic items purchased before
