Disposal
18.1 Under Maintenance Contract
All items that have been replaced under a maintenance contract are sent back for
replacement. The items will either be sent to the OEM for repair/replacement/disposal.
All Traffic Solutions, Siemens depots operates an
Environmental Management System
(EMS).
In accordance with its
Environmental Policy
Siemens applies the
Waste Hierarchy
when managing waste,
segregating waste
into a number of waste streams to optimise
the re-use/recycling carried out by the approved waste contractors that take the waste
away.
18.2 End of Life and Scrapping
End of life items and items involved in RTAs will normally be disposed of locally. In this
situation the local depot will dispose of all elements under the local EMS policy.
One key item to recognise is that
Lithium batteries require disposal in accordance
with COSHH regulations
.
