The european directive to 2002/96/EC on
wasted electrical and electronic equipments
(WEEE), requires that household electrical
appliances must not be disposed of in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream.
appliances must be collected separately in
order to optimize the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain, 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 disposed of the appliances, it must
be separately collected. Consumers should
contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of
their old appliance.
