According to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/95/EG) the battery,
electronics, and especially the electronics of the load plate may not be disposed of with your domestic
waste. Comply with your local regulations. In some countries you are required by law to dispose of these
products only at the collection points provided. In some countries manufacturers of similar electronic
equipment are obliged by law to take back electronic waste. Due to potentially hazardous substances,
often contained in electronic waste, incorrect handling of such waste may have negative impacts on the
environment and human health. By disposing of electronic parts in an appropriate way you also
contribute to an effective use of natural resources.
For more information about collection points for electronic waste please contact your city council, your
public waste management authorities, or your garbage disposal service.
TERRATEST GmbH will take back electronic waste free of charge, and dispose of it in a safe and
environmentally appropriate manner.
