recycle all materials. Individuals

ensuring that WEEE does not
become an environmental issue;
it is essential to follow some
basic rules:
• WEEE should not be treated as
household waste;
• WEEE should be handed over to
the relevant collection points
managed by the municipality
or by registered companies.
In many countries, when you
buy a new appliance, the old
one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it
free of charge on a one-to-one
basis, as long as the equipment
is of equivalent type and has
the same functions as the
supplied equipment.
