Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Notice
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
became law in most EU countries during 2005. The directive applies
to the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment within
the member states of the European Union.
As part of the legislation, electrical and electronic equipment will
feature the crossed out wheeled bin symbol (see image at left) on the
product or in the documentation to show that these products must be disposed of in
accordance with the WEEE Directive.
In the European Union, this label indicates that this product should not be disposed of
with domestic or “ordinary” waste. It should be deposited at an appropriate facility to
enable recovery and recycling.
