DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON THE TREATMENT, COLLECTION, RECYCLING AND
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND THEIR COMPONENTS
1. FOR COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU)
The disposal of electric and electronic devices as solid urban waste is strictly prohibited: it must be collected separately. The
dumping of these devices at unequipped and unauthorized places may have hazardous effects on health and the environment.
Offenders will be subjected to the penalties and measures laid down by the law.
TO DISPOSE OF OUR DEVICES CORRECTLY:
a) Contact the Local Authorities, who will give you the practical information you need and the instructions for handling the
waste correctly, for example: location and times of the waste collection centres, etc.
b) When you purchase a new device of ours, give a used device similar to the one purchased to our dealer for disposal.
The crossed dustbin symbol on the device means that:
- When it to be disposed of, the device is to be taken to the equipped waste collection centres and is to be
handled separately from urban waste;
- Olivetti guarantees the activation of the treatment, collection, recycling and disposal procedures in
accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC (and subsequent amendments).
