Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in
order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out 'wheeled bin' symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.

the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed
levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
