polluting substances (that can have a negative effect on the environment) and
base elements (that can be reused). It is important that the WEEE undergo
specific treatments to correctly remove and dispose of the pollutants and
recover all the materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring
that the WEEE do not become an environmental problem; It is essential to
follow a few basic rules:
-the WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
-the WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a
registered company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a
new appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor who must accept it free of charge as
a one-off, as long as the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the
purchased appliance.
