SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES
This appliance is marked according to the
European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances
(which can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re-used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in
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,
for large WEEE, home collection could be
present.
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.
