The WEEE Directive (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) 2002/96/EC uses a special logo in addition to the CE logo to show that the equipment should not be disposed of in the normal waste stream.

The logo is defined in detail in the European Standard EN 50419. It is the same as the symbol used on rechargeable batteries to show that they should not be disposed of in landfill, but for electrical equipment manufactured after 13 August 2005, a horizontal bar underneath the crossed-out wheelie bin is added to show that the equipment is waste which has been manufactured after the Directive came into force.

Artwork for the logo is available to download from the links below in a number of file formats. You will need a program which can expand Stuffit archives (Macintosh) or Zip files
