collection centres through specific collection systems set up by the government or local
authorities.

In accordance with art. 13 of Legislative Decree July 25, 2005, no. 151 "Implementation of directive
2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC, relative to reducing the use of hazardous substances in
electric and electronic devices, as well as waste disposal" and Legislative Decree 188 of
November 20, 2008 “Implementation of directive 2006/66/EC on batteries, accumulators and
relative waste”
The symbol of the crossed out wheelie bin displayed on the device, battery and accumulator or on the
package, indicates that both device and the batteries/accumulators contained in it can be collected
separately from other waste at the end of their service life.
In particular, the separate waste collection of this
device , when it reaches the end of its service life, is
organised and managed:
a) directly by the user, if he/she decides to dispose of the device without replacing it with a new,
identical one with the same functions;
b) by the manufacturer, considered as the body that originally introduced and marketed the device in
Italy or that resells, in Italy under its own trade name, the new device replacing the previous one,
if the user decides to dispose of the device at the end of its service life and purchase an
equivalent product with the same functions at the same time. In the latter case, the user can ask
the manufacturer to pick up the current device strictly within 15 consecutive calendar days from
the date of delivery of the new device.
In terms of the batteries/accumulators , the user is required to take these products to suitable separate
waste collection centres, set up by the competent authorities, at the end of their service life.
Suitable separate waste collection with the aim of having the device and its batteries/accumulators
decommissioned for recycling, treatment and disposal in an environmentally-friendly manner contributes
to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and health, and promotes the reuse and/or
recycling of the materials that these parts are composed of.
To remove the batteries/accumulators, refer to the specific indications of the manufacturer
Should the user inappropriately dispose of the devices, batteries and accumulators, he/she shall be
punished by law.
