CAUTION
Treatment of the electrical or electronic device at the end of its service life
(applicable in all countries of the European Union and in other European systems
with separate collection systems)
In any case, disposal must be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the
country of purchase.
More specifically, consumers must not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but must
dispose of this type of waste separately, in one of two possible ways:
• By taking it to municipal collection centres (also called eco-collection centres or recycling
facilities), directly or through the collection services of municipal companies, where these
are available;
• By taking it to shops selling new electrical and electronic equipment.
Here, very small items of the WEEE type (with the longest side less than 25 cm) can be left
free of charge, while larger ones can be left on a 1-for-1 basis, i.e., you can leave the old
item when you buy a new one having the same function.
Moreover, the 1-on-1 mode is always guaranteed when the consumer purchases a new
EEE, regardless of the size of the WEEE.
In the event of unauthorised disposal of electrical or electronic equipment, the sanctions
provided for by current environmental legislation may be applied (Italian legislation – check
the regulations in effect in the country of use/disposal of the vehicle).
If the WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, they must be removed and subjected to
specific separate collection.
