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 unsor-

ted municipal waste stream.

Old appliances must be collected sepa-

rately in order to optimise the recovery

and recycling of the materials they con-

tain 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.
