VapeCycle US is officially live, growing fast, and ready to make an impact.

August 8, 2025

We’ve got power — and we’re just getting started.

What began as a grassroots idea to address the environmental damage caused by disposable vape waste is now fully coming to life. VapeCycle US is proud to announce that we are officially recognized as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, giving us the ability to grow, seek funding, and bring even more partners on board.

Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:

✅ Tax-Exempt Status Secured: We are officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. That means your donations are tax-deductible, and we’re positioned for grants, sponsorships, and sustainable expansion.

📦 Three Vape Shop Drop-Off Locations and Growing: We’ve placed our first VapeCycle collection buckets in three locations across Spotsylvania County — and we’re already seeing results. Each bucket is a conversation starter, a collection point, and a promise of better environmental stewardship.

🌐 Website Launch: Our new site is up and live at [insert URL], packed with educational resources, drop-off instructions, blog updates, and more. We’ve also launched Beyond the Haze, a blog exploring the hidden environmental impacts of disposable vaping, and this blog — Charged Up — where you’ll get inside looks at our progress.

🎨 Stickers, Decals & Outreach Materials in the Works: Branding is more than a logo — it’s a movement. We’re equipping shops and volunteers with eye-catching materials that spread awareness and invite the public to get involved.

🤝 New Partnerships in Motion: We’re actively speaking with vape retailers and battery recycling facilities, and we’re getting an overwhelmingly positive response. Vape shop owners want to do the right thing — we’re just giving them the tools to do it.

📣 On the Radar: We’re building relationships with local government, schools, and environmental organizations to bring awareness and advocacy into the public spotlight.

Stay Charged

This is just the beginning. We’re ramping up our outreach, building our volunteer team, and continuing to prove that change doesn’t have to be restrictive — it can be collaborative, community-led, and powered by the people.

Let’s build a cleaner future, one vape at a time.
