SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES
This appliance is marked according to the European directive
2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause
negative consequences for the environment) and basic
components (which can be re-used). It is important to have
WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove
and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle
all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to
follow some basic rules:
- WEEE should not be treated as household waste;
- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection
points managed by the municipality or by registered
companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home
collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old
one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free
of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment
is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the
supplied equipment.
