Cigarettes, lighters and vapes

Vapes or e-cigarettes

Vapes are a hazardous waste item because they contain a lithium-ion battery (which is a fire risk) and potentially harmful chemicals in the e-liquid. Used vapes that contain a battery should not be put in household recycling or garbage bins.

Reusable vapes if battery can be safely removed:

• Vape with battery removed - Return Unwanted Medicine Program (check with pharmacy first)
• Battery -  recycle the battery at a B-cycle drop off point or the Recycling Centre.
