What is the ResQ Vape Box, and how does it work?

The ResQ Vape Box is a personal storage container for used vapes, pods, and cartridges. Instead of tossing them in the trash, collect them in your box. Once full, visit our locator map to find a ResQ Bin drop-off point at a nearby vape shop. If your local shop isn’t listed, submit their info—we’ll reach out to get a bin in their store!

Why should I recycle my vapes instead of throwing them away?

Vape waste contains hazardous materials like lithium batteries and plastic that don’t decompose, contributing to e-waste, pollution, and other hazards. Recycling with ResQ Vapes ensures proper disposal, keeping toxins out of landfills and waterways.

Where can I drop off my full ResQ Vape Box?

Use our ResQ Bin locator map on our website to find the nearest authorized vape recycling drop-off location. If your favorite vape shop isn’t listed, submit their info—we’ll work on getting them a ResQ Bin!

What happens to the vapes after I drop them off?

Collected vapes are repurposed into art installations, encased in concrete to safely seal hazardous materials from the environment. We collaborate with artists, businesses, and municipalities to create public artwork that spreads awareness, provides jobs, and offers branding opportunities. As we scale into Phase 3, we’ll process these materials for full recycling, but until then, they serve as a powerful statement on sustainability and vape waste.

How can vape shops get a ResQ Bin?

If you own or visit a vape shop that isn’t part of our program, you can submit their info through our site. We’ll reach out to discuss adding a ResQ Bin so they can offer a responsible recycling solution to customers. Most shop owners are on board once they learn about the benefits!

Does it cost anything to drop off my used vapes?

No! Dropping off used vapes at a ResQ Bin is completely free for consumers. Your ResQ Vape Box purchase supports our mission to provide vape recycling solutions and expand our drop-off network.

How can I get involved with ResQ Vapes?

You can support the cause by purchasing a ResQ Vape Box, spreading the word, or encouraging local vape shops to get a ResQ Bin. Businesses can also sponsor a bin to promote their brand while supporting sustainability.
