The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on a product or its batteries or its packaging means that the product and any batteries it contains must not be disposed of with your household waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to hand over the waste batteries and/or the waste electrical and electronic equipment to an applicable collection point for the recycling of batteries and electrical and electronic equipment. This separate collection and recycling will help to conserve natural resources and prevent potential negative consequences for human health and the environment due to the possible presence of hazardous substances in batteries and electrical and electronic equipment, which could be caused by inappropriate disposal.
