3. Disposal
This product is subject to European Directive 2012/19/EU
for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) which
states that waste household devices must not be disposed of
with unsorted domestic waste. These used devices must be
collected separately from normal domestic waste to increase the
proportion of recycled devices and their materials with the aim of
reducing their effects on human health and nature. The symbol
of the waste bin crossed out is applied to all devices to remind
users of their duty to collect them separately. Consumers must
contact their local authority (for example licensed waste disposal
contractors or local authority waste disposal facilities) or the
seller to find out how they must dispose of their device. Please
comply with current regulations. If you are in any doubt, please
contact your waste management authority.
3.1 Disposal of batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste. All
consumers have a duty under law to deposit waste batteries at
a collection point operated by the local authority or local stores.
This duty is designed to ensure that batteries can be disposed of
safely. Only dispose of fully discharged batteries.
