Meaning of crossed –out wheeled dustbin:
Electrical appliances should not be disposed as unsorted municipal
waste. Separate collection facilities should be used in the disposal of
electrical appliances. Contact your local government for the
information about the available collection systems. If electrical
appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances
can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging
your health and well-being. When old appliances are replaced by the
new ones, it is a legal obligation for the retailer to take back the old
appliance for disposals at least free of charge.
