HOW TO DISPOSE OF Lighting Equipment IN THE PROVINCE OF RIMINI
Lighting equipment containing hazardous substances falls under the category of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). These are devices that require electricity, batteries, or power cells to operate. Due to the presence of components that can harm the natural environment, it is essential to collect and manage them separately and responsibly.
It is important to note that while some lighting equipment may look similar to glass, they are not, and special care should be taken to avoid breaking them. Broken items can release harmful gases into the environment. Whenever possible, lighting equipment should be delivered intact to the Recycling Center for proper handling.
