Collection of electrical and electronic appliances
By removing the so-called contaminants and harmful substances from electrical appliances before they are handed over to collection points, it is possible to eliminate pollution and hazards.
- if you leave bulbs in lamps, they can break during delivery or transport and fumes can escape.
- leaving batteries in equipment could pose a risk of fire or leakage of liquids if improperly stored & transported.
- for appliances containing oils, such as fryers, it is advisable to remove the oil for hygienic and environmental reasons.
- In the case of appliances such as vacuum cleaners, it is advisable to remove the dust bag and dispose of it in the garbage, in order to avoid unnecessary transportation.
These little things help us to additionally protect the environment and to work safely.
