Environmental information

The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the

manufacturing process. This product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the

environment or to human health.
To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our

natural resources, eMachines provides the following information on how you can responsibly

recycle or reuse most of the materials in your “end of life” product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never

be disposed of in the municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The

“Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed to this product is your reminder to dispose of

your “end of life” product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly

recoverable, recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for the environment by

following these simple steps:

•

When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back”

to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling.

•

In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the

purchase of new eMachines equipment. Call eMachines to see if this program is available

in your area.

•

If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life”

product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number listed in your product’s user

guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and

using the energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer

packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or

recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and

electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and

generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not

released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
