Product disposal and recycling
International concern about environmental pollution resulting from improper disposal of products
and materials at the end of their useful life has resulted in an increase in legislation to control the
methods and procedures used to handle waste electrical and electronic equipment. While the
regulatory status in some regions of the world has progressed to the point where formal legislation is
already in eect, many other regions are in the process of creating similar legislation or adopting that
already in existence in other areas. The result in the years ahead will be more stringent control over
disposal of products and recycling of their components once they are withdrawn from use.
Since regulations governing the disposal of your instrument and accessories may vary depending
upon your geographic location, the following guidelines are provided to assist you in identifying the
options available to you once the decision has been made to replace or dispose of this product:
• Contact the supplier who sold you the product. Whether this is Advanced Instruments itself, or one of its authorized
representatives, this supplier should be knowledgeable about the national and local regulations governing disposal and
recycling of products in your area. In some cases, this supplier may be legally obligated to accept the product from you
and arrange for proper disposal or recycling with no further involvement on your part. Alternately, the supplier can
provide you with specific instructions for actions that you can take to dispose of the product properly.
• Contact your local government agency responsible for waste collection and disposal. They can identify procedures and
restrictions in eect to ensure proper disposal, and available locations where products can be sent.
