Waste disposal laws and regulations vary with countries and regions. When you dispose of any waste, you should observe the local laws, regulations, rules, or requirements on waste disposal.
6.1 Packaging
The shipping packaging is made of corrugated fiberboard, withholding great pressure and providing effective protection for your CNC carver. The packaging can be recycled or reused to store finished works or create DIY projects. Inside the packaging is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, protecting your CNC carver from collision during shipping. Littering non-degradable EPS foam is detrimental to the environment, so throw the EPS foam into the designated trash bin.
6.2 CNC Bits
Don't throw the CNC bits straight in the trash bin. CNC bits without protective wrapping will easily hurt someone who carries the trash bag or reaches into the trash.
Here are the steps to properly dispose of the CNC bits:
(1) Wrap the CNC bits with a few layers of paper or cardboard, and secure them with tapes.
(2) Put the wrapped bits into a thick sealing bag or container.
(3) Write “SHARP” outside the bag or container to warn sanitation workers of sharp bits.
(4) Throw them into the designated trash bin.
6.3 Wasted Material
Do not litter non-degradable material or failed works in nature. Throw them into the designated trash bin.
6.4 Electronics
Electronics can be discarded, donated, or recycled. Should the e-waste be no longer wanted or near the end of its useful life, you can throw it into the designated trash bin, or take it to a trusted charity or recycler.
