The regulations establish measures and procedures aimed at preventing the generation of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and reducing the use of hazardous substances within such equipment (e.g., Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI), PBB, PBDE).

For this reason, such material cannot be disposed of as ordinary municipal waste, but must be handled with due care and treated as special waste in accordance with the procedures set out by law.

It is also worth noting that one of the obligations placed on manufacturers/distributors of electrical and electronic equipment is the requirement to collect WEEE upon the purchase of a new product (the so-called 鈥淥ne for One鈥� scheme), in accordance with the terms and procedures defined by current legislation.

Where the 鈥淥ne for One鈥� scheme cannot be applied, University Departments wishing to dispose of such products must contact the managers of the relevant temporary storage sites (Local Units) or the Office for Environment and Safety 鈥� Environment Sector, which is available for any related needs.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the equipment concerned:

• Hazardous WEEE: refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, monitors, others聽
• Non-hazardous WEEE: personal computers (CPU, mouse, keyboard, etc.), printers, electric and electronic typewriters, desktop and pocket calculators, fax machines, telephones, others

During 2016鈥�2017, the Office for Environment and Safety promoted the 鈥淎pple Recycling Program鈥� agreement with the REMEDIA TSR Consortium, which provided for the collection, transport, and treatment鈥攑artly free of charge鈥攐f WEEE. This agreement ended in December 2017 due to REMEDIA's unavailability.

In September 2018, our University signed a Framework Agreement with the National Consortium for Collection and Recycling 鈥� COBAT, for the free collection of all WEEE disposed of within the University鈥檚 various departments.

Currently, the collection of this material is carried out by companies that promote environmentally friendly material recovery and recycling systems.
