Recycling

Giving Vape Waste a Second Life

Once a device hits our collection buckets, the work begins. We sort, secure, and move disposable vapes through certified channels so lithium-ion batteries and materials are handled safely—diverting toxic waste from landfills and protecting local water and soil.

How It Works

Secure Sorting – We batch devices, isolate hazards, and prepare compliant containers.

Safe Transport – Materials move via trained handlers and DOT-compliant packaging.

Battery Recovery – Certified facilities depower, disassemble, and recover metals.

Material Streams – Plastics, metals, and electronics enter appropriate recycling flows.

Impact Tracking – We record weights, partners, and outcomes for transparent reporting.

Safety & Compliance

We follow best practices for lithium-ion handling and partner only with certified processors. Our methods prioritize fire prevention, worker safety, and environmental compliance throughout storage, transport, and processing.

Environmental Impact

Recycling lithium-ion batteries and components avoids new mining, reduces landfill risk, and cuts emissions. Every pound recovered helps prevent toxic leaching and lowers the carbon cost of future materials.

FAQs

Do I need to disassemble my vape?
No—drop the whole device in the bucket. We handle sorting.

Are leaking or damaged vapes okay?
Yes. Place them in the bucket gently; we isolate hazards during sorting.

Can I mail devices in?
Mail-back is in development. Join our newsletter for launch updates.

What happens to recovered materials?
Batteries are depowered and separated into metal fractions; plastics/metals enter appropriate recycling streams.
