The European Directive 2002/96 /EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) required that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the material they
contain, and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed
out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product remind you of your obligations that when
you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected.
Besides that, waste batteries and/or accumulator must be removed prior to delivery
of WEEE, thought the separated collection channels provided for this purpose
(distributors and/or facilities from Local Authorities)
