Article 5 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall adopt appropriate measures to minimise the disposal of WEEE in the form of unsorted municipal waste and to achieve a high level of separate collection of WEEE, notably, and as a matter of priority, for cooling and freezing equipment containing ozone depleting substances and fluorinated greenhouse gases, for mercury containing lamps and for small appliances.

Article 8 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall ensure that all separatelyd collected WEEE undergoes treatment. in accordance with the waste hierarchy priority order established by Directive 2008/98/EC. To give priority to preparation for reuse, a check should be implemented prior to any treatment, to ascertain whether the waste equipment or individual components thereof are reusable. This check should be carried out by accredited repair and reuse centres, established according to article 11.1 and Annex IV of Directive 2008/98/EC, or similarly qualified personnel

Article 12 – paragraph 1
Article 12 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall ensure that producers provide at least for the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from private households deposited at collection facilities set up under Article 5(2).

These financial resources shall be available only to operators legally obliged to collect WEEE. Where receiving full coverage for their costs, municipalities and private collection points shall hand over all the WEEE collected to producer responsibility schemes.
