(burned for energy content in the production of electricity).
Public collection points have been set up by municipalities for the
collection of WEEE, free of charge to you.
Please return your WEEE to the collection facility nearest your home

If you have difficulty locating a collection facility, the retailer that sold
you the product should accept your WEEE.

ACCO for assistance with this matter.
Recycling of WEEE is geared toward protecting the environment,
protecting human health, preserving raw materials, improving
sustainable development, and ensuring a better supply of
commodities in the European Union. This will be achieved by
retrieving valuable secondary raw materials and reducing the
disposal of waste. You can contribute to the success of these goals
by returning your WEEE to a collection facility.
Your product is marked with the WEEE symbol (wheelie
