Information about used electrical and electronic equipment
The main goal of European and national law regulations is to reduce the amount of waste produced
from used electrical and electronic equipment, to ensure an appropriate level of collection, recovery
and recycling of used equipment, and to increase public awareness of its harmfulness to the environ-
ment, at each stage of use of electrical and electronic equipment. Therefore, it should be pointed out
that households play a key role in contributing to reuse and recovery, including recycling of used equi-
pment. The user of electrical and electronic equipment – intended for households – is obliged to return
it to authorized collector after its use. However, it should be remembered that products classified as
electrical or electronic equipment should be disposed of at authorized collection points.
