How to Properly Recycle E-Cigarettes
How do you recycle your e-cigarettes when they’re broken or no longer being used? Start by looking for e-recycling companies that do not ship any electronics overseas for processing. Companies with R2 and E-Steward certifications provide a good start to your search for the best e-waste recycling company to process your vapes in a manner that protects the environment, workers within the facility, and people around the globe.
Your local recycling facility may take them. You cannot recycle them in your curbside containers as they contain a lithium-ion battery that can cause a fire in recycling trucks or facilities. Instead, bring them directly to the facility for safe recycling.
If you do not have a facility that accepts e-cigarettes, visit Maxhero Services LLC’s website. We offer prepaid recycling boxes that you can fill with your vapes and other electronic devices and send to us for responsible recycling.
At our facility, we break down the items and send the plastics, glass, metal, and lithium-ion batteries to the correct areas for responsible recycling. When you recycle your vapes, the materials are reused in new products. This supports a circular economy and reduces the need for mining new raw materials—helping protect natural ecosystems and conserve resources that may eventually run out if we don’t take action now.
