To prevent releases of harmful substances into
the environment and to maximize the use of our
natural resources, Gateway provides the
following information on how you can
responsibly recycle or reuse most of the
materials in your "end of life" product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(commonly known as
WEEE) should never be disposed of in the
municipal waste stream
(residential garbage collection). The
"Crossed-Out Waste Bin" label
affixed to this product is your reminder to
dispose of your "end of life"
product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain
chemical compounds are highly recoverable,
recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for
the environment by following these simple
steps:
When your electrical or electronic
■
equipment is no longer useful to you, "take
it back" to your local or regional waste
collection administration for recycling.
In some cases, your "end of life" product
■
may be "traded in" for credit towards the
purchase of new Gateway equipment. Call
Gateway to see if this program is available
in your area.
If you need further assistance in recycling,

reusing, or trading in your "end of life"
product, you may contact us at the
