Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used Batteries
Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must
be treated separately and in accordance with legislation
that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of
these products.
Following the implementation by member states, private
households within the EU states may return their used
electrical/electronic equipments and batteries to designated
collection facilities free of charge*.
In some countries your local retailer may also take back
your old product free of charge if you purchase a similar
new one.
*Please contact your local authority for further details.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you
wish to discard these items, please contact your local
authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of
disposal.
Note for the battery symbol (bottom two symbol examples):
This symbol might be used in combination with a
designation for the chemical element or compound in use.
In this case you have to comply with the requirement set by
the Directive for the chemicals involved.
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging
and/or accompanying documents mean that
used electrical and electronic equipments
and batteries should not be mixed with
general household waste.
By disposing of this product correctly you will
help ensure that the waste undergoes the
necessary treatment, recovery and recycling
and thus prevent potential negative effects
on the environment and human health which
could otherwise arise due to inappropriate
waste handling.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic
equipment can be returned free of charge to
the dealer, even when you don't purchase a
new product. Further collection facilities are
listed on the home page of www.swico.ch
