Environmental information
The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in
the manufacturing process. This product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the
environment or to human health.
To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our
natural resources, Gateway provides the following information on how you can responsibly
recycle or reuse most of the materials in your “end of life” product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known a WEEE) should never
be disposed of in the municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The
“Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed to this product is your reminder to dispose
of your “end of life” product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly
recoverable, recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for the environment
by following these simple steps:
•
When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back”
to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling.
•
In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the
purchase of new Gateway equipment. Call Gateway to see if this program is available
in your area.
•
If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life”
product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number listed in your product’s
user guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding
and using the energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and
outer packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing
of or recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical
and electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products,
and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are
not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
