Household appliances

Sorting instructions

The electrical and electronic equipment cover all appliances that require an electric current, battery, or solar energy in order to operate. In addition, all lamps, excluding incandescent and halogen lamps, are regarded as electrical and electronic equipment.

Disused electrical appliances from households are accepted free of charge at all sorting stations. Electrical appliances can also be returned to some recycling centres and to some of the shops that sell them. Read more at www.serkierratys.fi.
