Disposal

Old appliances must be collected separately to optimise the rate of recovery and recycling of the materials of which they are composed, and to prevent potential damage to health and the environment. The crossed through basket symbol is used on all products as a reminder that they must be disposed of separately. Electrical appliances in disuse can be delivered

to the public refuse collection service or taken to special municipal areas. Otherwise, depending on national legislation, they may be taken to the retailer at the time of purchase of a similar product.

All the main manufacturers of household appliances are actively involved in the creation and management of collection and disposal of appliances in disuse.
