Proper Disposal of Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (EEE)

The European Union (EU) has enacted Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
2002/96/EC (WEEE), which aims to prevent EEE waste from
arising; to encourage reuse, recycling, and recovery of EEE
waste; and to promote environmental responsibility.

In accordance with these regulations, all EEE products
labeled with the “crossed out wheeled bin” either on the
product itself or in the product literature must not be disposed
of in regular rubbish bins, mixed with regular household
or other commercial waste, or by other regular municipal
waste collection means. Instead, and in order to prevent
possible harm to the environment or human health, all EEE
products(including any cables that came with the product)
should be responsibly discarded or recycled.

To identify a responsible disposal method where you live,
please contact your local waste collection or recycling
service, your original place of purchase or product supplier,
or the responsible government authority in your area.
Business users should contact their supplier or refer to
their purchase contract.
