Recycling of old electrical appliances

Recycling of old electrical appliances

Do you have an old electrical appliance you no longer use? Please dispose of it separately for recycling. Electrical and electronic devices contain valuable raw materials that can be reused. They may also contain substances that can be harmful to the environment if not processed correctly.

That is why it is important to dispose of discarded electrical appliances separately and not with regular household waste. Through the waste separation guide, you can easily find out where and how to dispose of your electrical waste.

All electrical and electronic products sold within Europe carry the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin. This indicates that the product must not be disposed of with regular household waste at the end of its life cycle, but must be collected separately for recycling.
