What does the crossed out wheelie bin symbol on electrical items mean?
This symbol signifies that the product falls within the Government’s WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations and should not be disposed of in your household waste bin once it is no longer required. Instead any old electrical or electronic product should be taken to your nearest designated collection facility (DCF) where it will be recycled. For your nearest DCF you can log onto www.recycle-more.co.uk but it is likely that your ‘local tip’ has been upgraded to provide this facility. Disposing of old electrical and electronic goods in this way is free of charge and will help the environment by reducing landfill.
