14 Disposal
14.1 Under Maintenance Contract
All items that have been replaced under a maintenance contract are sent back for
replacement. The items will either be sent to the OEM or Registered Distributor for
repair/replacement/disposal.
All Traffic Solutions, Siemens depots operates an Environmental Management System
(EMS).
In accordance with its Environmental Policy Siemens applies the Waste Hierarchy
when managing waste, segregating waste into a number of waste streams to optimise
the re-use/recycling carried out by the approved waste contractors that take the waste
away.
14.2 End of Life and Scrapping
End of life items and items involved in RTAs will normally be disposed of locally. In this
situation the local depot will dispose of all elements under the local EMS policy.
