Resumen

This Procedure lays down measures for collection and marking of spent batteries and accumulators containing certain dangerous substances, with the aim of avoiding or reducing environmental damage caused by such batteries or accumulators. This Procedure is concerned with batteries and accumulators containing: (a) more than 0.025 % of cadmium by weight; (b) more than 0,4 % of lead by weight; and (c) more than 0.0005 % of mercury by weight and brought to the Estonian market before 1 July 2001. Spent batteries and accumulators must be collected separately from other waste for the purpose of their recovery or disposal. Holders of waste are required to transfer spent batteries and accumulators to persons holding a waste permit and hazardous waste management licence. The marking indicating separate collection shall depict a wheeled waste container crossed out with a cross and corresponding to one of the two figures provided in the Annex to this Procedure (the alternative to be chosen by the person applying the marking).
