E European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment - WEEE.
The directive requires that old household electronic appliances must not
be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol
on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliances to public waste collection areas,
other communal collection areas, or if national legislation allows return it
to a retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
Old appliances still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly
method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be
recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your appliance and
insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none
of the pipes on the back of the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options for disposing of your old
appliance and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your
local council office.
Redundant appliances:
Cut off the mains plug and discard it. Refrigerators contain refrigerants
and the insulation contains gases. Refrigerant and gases must be disposed
of properly.
Ensure the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged prior to
proper disposal.
