Keep a useful object in service through reuse or repair where appropriate. For end of life, identify the whole item and its local collection programme; material composition alone does not establish acceptance or a destination facility.
Electronic assembly
Use a dedicated electronics collection route. Remove personal data when applicable and follow the collection service’s battery instructions.
Glass
Bottle and jar collection rules do not automatically apply to screens, mirrors or ceramics. Check the accepted item type.
Battery
Use a programme that accepts the identified battery type. Lithium and rechargeable batteries need dedicated handling, away from household trash and ordinary recycling.
