A vape packs a lithium battery, circuits, nicotine and plastic. None of it belongs in the trash. Crushed in a truck, the battery can ignite. 🔥
There’s no national vape recycling program, so we built a local one. We place bins, collect them and send everything to certified recyclers.
Nicotine leaches into soil and water.
Lithium cells, circuits, heavy metals.
Casings that never break down.
Any VM bin takes the whole thing.
Reported waste and recycling facility fires hit a record 448 in 2025, with about $2.5 billion in damage. Roughly half start with lithium batteries, and disposable vapes are a growing share of them.
