The purpose of the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is to remind us that most
electrical products, and batteries, contain trace elements (including Mercur y –
Hg, Cadmium – Cd and Lead – Pb) which could be harmful to our environment
and therefore our health. We must all be careful to dispose of them responsibly
in a specifically designated way – either using a collection scheme or into the
correctly labeled civic amenity (NOT into general waste) – this will help your local
authority to arrange to recycle or dispose of them in the appropriate manner.
