The purpose of the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is to remind us that most electrical products, and batteries, contain trace elements (including Mercury – 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 labelled civic amenity (NOT into general waste) – this will help your local authority to arrange to recycle or dispose of them in the appropriate manner.
