FAQs

Why should I use ResQ instead of throwing my vapes away?

Vape waste contains hazardous materials like lithium batteries and plastic that don’t decompose, contributing to e-waste, pollution, and other hazards. Dropping off in ResQ Vape Bins ensures proper disposal, keeping toxins out of landfills and waterways as well as service workers safe.

Where can I drop off my used vape stash?

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

What happens to the vapes after I drop them off?

ResQ collects used vapes at our Mesa, Tempe, and Phoenix Metro Valley drop-off bins. Our partners sort them, assess for processing safely to neutralize hazards, ensuring they stay out of landfills and off streets while protecting our planet.
