The user must therefore take the appliance to be disposed of to an appropriate
separate collection centre for electrical and electronic equipment.
Appropriate separate waste collection, in view of the decommissioned
equipment’s recycling, processing and environment-friendly disposal, helps
avoiding possible adverse effects both on the environment and the public
health and, also, promotes the reuse and/or recycling of the materials the
machine is made up of. Specific administrative sanctions provided for by
current regulations will be applied for illicit disposal of the product by the
user.
