OTHER INFORMATION
Information on Waste Disposal for Consumers of Electrical & Electronic Equipment
This mark on a product and/or accompanying documents indicates that when it is
to be disposed of, it must be treated as Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment
(WEEE).
Any WEEE marked waste products must not be mixed with general household waste, but
kept separate for the treatment, recovery and recycling of the materials used.
For proper treatment, recovery and recycling; please take all WEEE marked waste to your
Local Authority Civic waste site, where it will be accepted free of charge.
If all consumers dispose of Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment correctly, they will be
helping to save valuable resources and preventing any potential negative effects upon human
health and the environment, of any hazardous materials that the waste may contain.
Please Recycle Your Spent Batteries
Batteries should not be disposed of in unsorted municipal waste, but separately collected to
facilitate the correct treatment and recycling of the substances they contain. The recycling of
batteries ensures the recovery of these valuable materials and prevents any potentially harmful
effects upon both the environment and human health.
Please contribute to battery recycling by segregating all spent batteries and actively
participating in their collection and recycling. Various battery collection schemes will be in
operation in different areas of the country. However, battery collection bins will be available at
retail stores that sell batteries as well as at schools, libraries and other public buildings.
