About ResQ Vapes

Building a Take Back Program for Household Used Vapes.

ResQ Vapes helps communities collect household, post-consumer disposable nicotine vapes through public drop-off bins, advertiser sponsorships, host locations, and clear commercial inquiry pathways.

ResQ public bins are for household used disposable nicotine vapes only. No THC, cannabis products, commercial inventory, recalls, overstock, damaged devices, or confiscated material.

Why ResQ Vapes Exists

Disposable vapes create a confusing waste problem for everyday users, businesses, schools, and communities. ResQ Vapes exists to make the first step simple: give household users a clear place to drop off used disposable nicotine vapes, then build the collection network responsibly from real data.

Our Model

Advertising Helps Fund the Collection Network.

ResQ Vapes is focused on building an advertising-supported public bin network. Sponsors get local visibility, hosts get a practical collection point, and consumers get a clearer way to drop off household used disposable nicotine vapes.

  • Advertisers sponsor public collection bins.
  • Host locations provide convenient drop-off access.
  • Consumers drop off accepted household disposable nicotine vapes.
  • ResQ tracks volume, counts, weight, and service needs to guide growth.

What ResQ Vapes Does Not Do

Clear boundaries protect the public bin program and help route special cases to the right inquiry path.

  • We do not accept THC or cannabis products in public bins.
  • We do not use public bins for commercial inventory, recalls, overstock, or confiscated material.
  • We do not want damaged, leaking, swollen, crushed, or unsafe devices placed in public bins.
  • We do not treat public bins as general e-waste, loose battery, pod, tank, mod, or bottle collection points.

Built to Start Small and Scale with Data

ResQ Vapes is using pilot locations to learn what actually happens in the field: how many vapes come in, what they weigh, how often bins need service, and which locations perform best.

Measure First

Track collection counts, weight, volume, servicing needs, and host feedback.

Improve the Network

Use real collection behavior to refine host selection, sponsor packages, and public guidance.

Scale Responsibly

Expand with partners after the program proves what locations and collection models work best.

Special Collection Paths

Not every vape collection need belongs in a public bin. ResQ gives those visitors a clear next step instead of leaving them guessing.

Commercial Disposal

Bulk, business, recalled, damaged, or confiscated material should go through an inquiry first.

Commercial Inquiry

10x10 Mail-Back Box

Schools and municipalities can ask about a non-advertising collection option powered by G2 Nightshade.
