Separate collec-
tion and storage
Substances which are harmful to the environment should always
be collected separately from other waste.
• Ask your local environmental protection authority about the different
categories of the substances.
• Also, when collecting substances which are harmful to the environment,
keep solid materials (e.g. filter cartridges) separate from fluids. Disposal
costs will be reduced if you collect fluids separately according to defined
categories.
• Store environmentally harmful substances only in approved receptacles
and in locations which meet the requirements of applicable national
and regional regulations.
Disposal
• Ask your local environmental protection authority about the prescribed
disposal options.
• Once collected, have environmentally harmful substances disposed
of only by disposal companies which are approved by the national
or regional authority responsible.
