Hi all,
as regards the the recycling centers, each country in Europe is responsible
for setting up the infrastructure. In Germany's ElektroG, the Law clearly
makes the Federal Department of Environmental Affairs responsible for
assisting in setting up the recycling centers and also monitoring their
activities.
The link to read more is ;

and an interesting website for all US-Based manufacturers exporting to
Europe is the Department of Commerce and the weblink;

Ray,
The best way to comply is to identify in your recycling information
which you make available to the recycling center, what fluids in your
product need to be drained. As far as actually draining the fluids, that
is up to the "approved recycling center" and not you unless you are also
going into that business.
If your end user takes the product somewhere else, or the recycling
center does not contact you for that information, then you are off the
hook.
Unfortunately, the EU has issued these directives without providing a
list of approved recycling centers.
Shame on them.
