Trash Mountain

This resource is a hobby of mine that will continue to grow. As a former smoker turned vaper, my hope is that this information will make it easier for consumers of single-use vapes to reduce waste.

Recycling takes labor and knowledge of the material. Each vape requires a unique teardown process to access and recycle the battery. Many are designed in a way that makes it difficult for users to take apart, refill, and/or recharge their vape.  The companies that produce these products won't put forth the time and money to recycle their products, but someone has to.

 

 

Disposable vapes contain lithium-ion batteries that should not be disposed with household waste
