Important battery recycling and WEEE information
Take back and recycling information for WEEE and batteries/accumulators in the European Union and the
United Kingdom
The crossed-out wheeled bin marking applies only to countries with WEEE and batteries waste regulations
including the European Union (EU), and United Kingdom (UK).
Appliances and batteries/accumulators are labeled in accordance with local regulations concerning waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and waste batteries and waste accumulators. These regulations
determine the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances and used batteries/accumulators as
applicable within each geography. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not
to be thrown away, but rather put in the established collection systems for reclaiming these end of life
products.
The label on the battery may also include a chemical symbol for the metal concerned in the battery (Pb for
lead, Hg for mercury, and Cd for cadmium).
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and users of batteries/accumulators with the crossed-out
wheeled bin marking must not dispose of end of life products as unsorted municipal waste, but use the
collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, and recovery of WEEE and waste batteries/
accumulators and to minimize any potential effects of EEE and batteries on the environment and human
health due to the presence of hazardous substances.
Lenovo electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) may contain parts and components, which at end-of-life
might qualify as hazardous waste.
EEE and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) can be delivered free of charge to the place of
sale or any distributor that sells electrical and electronic equipment of the same nature and function as the
used EEE or WEEE.
