The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste electrical or electronic
equipment stipulates that this equipment must not be disposed of with the
household waste at the end of its life. You will find collection points for free
return of waste electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local administration. You
can also find out about other return options that apply for many EU countries
on the website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise, please contact
an official recycling centre for electronic and electrical equipment authorised
for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to
enable the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of waste equipment
as well as to prevent negative effects for the environment and human health
caused by the disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must not be treated
as domestic waste, but must be disposed of professionally in accordance with
Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries
and accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
Only for United Kingdom
According to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013
(2013/3113) and the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009
(2009/890), devices that are no longer usable must be collected separately
and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
