Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old
Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or
accompanying documents mean that used electrical
and electronic equipment and batteries should not
be mixed with general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries
must be treated separately and in accordance with
legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery
and recycling of these products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will
help ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary
treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent
potential negative effects on the environment and
human health which could otherwise arise due to
inappropriate waste handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol
shown above, in accordance with the Battery
Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg =
Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in
the battery at a concentration above an applicable
threshold specified in the Battery Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling
of used products, please contact your local
authorities, your waste disposal service or the point
of sale where you purchased the products.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European
Union. If you wish to discard used products, please
contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for
the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic
equipment can be returned free of charge to the
dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new
product. Further collection facilities are listed on the
home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
