regarding electric and electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both
polluting substances (that can have a negative effect on the environment) and base

become an environmental problem; it is essential to follow a few basic rules:
- The WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
- The WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a
registered company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a new
appliance, the o

as long as the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the purchased
appliance.
