Our vape recycling service covers waste disposable and rechargeable vape devices held by retailers and other UK businesses. These small electrical items can contain batteries and residual liquid, so a vape load needs a more specific description than a general box of electronic waste. Tell us the approximate quantities, device condition and how the items are currently stored so our team can review the collection requirements with your organisation.
Retailers and organisations holding discarded disposable or rechargeable vapes can enquire about a dedicated business collection for these small battery-containing electrical devices.

Recycling battery-containing vape devices
We arrange onward recycling and treatment based on the electrical waste being collected and your location.
Waste vapes combine a battery, electronic components, casing and residual material in a small unit. They should be identified as vapes rather than hidden within general mixed waste.
The importance of recycling vapes
Waste vapes contain lithium batteries, electronics and plastics in a single small unit, making them a fast-growing waste problem when discarded generally. Recycling them recovers battery materials and prevents fire risks in general waste streams.

Vape Recycling FAQs
Why should vapes be kept out of general waste?
Vapes contain lithium batteries that can cause fires in general waste. Collecting them separately allows batteries and electronics to be recovered.
Can retailers send back returned and seized vapes?
Yes. Retailers, wholesalers and other businesses can enquire about collecting disposable and refillable vapes.
How should vapes be stored before collection?
Keep them in a dedicated, lidded, non-combustible container away from heat, and let us know the approximate quantity.
