G. DISPOSAL
Pursuant to art. 26 of Legislative Decree no. 49 of 14
March 2014, "Implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU
on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)".
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol displayed on a product or its
packaging indicates that when the equipment reaches the end of its life
cycle it must be disposed of separately from other waste for purposes
of treatment and recycling. Once such products reach the end of their
life cycle, users may dispose of them free of charge at special municipal
centres for the collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment, or
return them to the distributor under one of the following arrangements:
- very small products, i.e. equipment with no external dimension
exceeding 25 cm, may be returned with no obligation to buy
to distributors whose sales areas dedicated to electrical and
electronic equipment exceed 400 m2. Distributors with smaller
sales areas are not obliged to participate in this scheme.
- products of dimensions greater than 25 cm may be returned to
distributors under a "one for one" arrangement, i.e. the distributor
is only obliged to receive the product in return for the purchase of
a new, equivalent product, with one new product being purchased
for every waste product returned.
The separate collection and subsequent processing of products for
purposes of recycling, treatment and environmentally sound disposal
helps avoid potentially harmful effects on the environment and
human health, and facilitates the reuse/recycling of the materials
contained in the products. Users abusively disposing of products are
subject to the penalties applicable under the respective legislation.
