Vape Recycling

Got a load of vapes to get rid of?

Disposable vapes might be small, but they create a big waste problem. Packed with lithium batteries, plastics and electronic components, they can't simply be thrown away with general waste.

At Vantage, we make vape recycling straightforward. Whether you're dealing with returned stock, damaged products, seized items, end-of-life devices, or retail and local authority collection points, we'll handle the collection, compliance and recycling process from start to finish.

Vape Disposal Without the Hassle

Vapes contain a mix of materials that require specialist treatment. Batteries need separating, electrical components need processing correctly and recyclable materials need recovering wherever possible.
‍
Our vape disposal service provides businesses with a safe and compliant route for managing unwanted vaping products. We work with retailers, distributors, manufacturers, enforcement agencies and waste operators looking for a reliable solution for vape waste.

How It Works

Once we understand the type and quantity of vape waste involved, we'll arrange collection and transport through approved waste management channels. Devices are processed through authorised recycling facilities, where materials are separated and treated appropriately.

Lithium batteries are handled through specialist recycling routes, helping reduce environmental impact while ensuring compliance with current regulations. Throughout the process, we maintain complete traceability and provide the documentation needed to support your records.
