In brief:
These machines must not be disposed of as normal waste but rather be separately
collected.
Dealers will collect used machines for free, then they will send them to specialised
collection centres so that they can be correctly disassembled and any reusable
material can be recycled.
Collection centres for waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) have been
created. Users can return used machines to their dealers when a new,
equivalent machine is purchased.
These machines or their parts are potentially harmful for the environment and
human health if used incorrectly or if not disposed of pursuant to the present
procedure, due to some substances being present in the electronic
components.
The symbol representing a crossed-out trash bin, well visible on these machines,
means without doubts that the machine has entered the market after August 13,
2005 and that it must collected separately.
