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 unsorted municipal waste stream. Old 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 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.
