Host a ResQ Bin

Give Your Location a Used Vape Drop-Off Point.

Join the ResQ Vapes Take Back Program by hosting a collection bin for household, post-consumer disposable nicotine vapes.

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

Who Should Host a Bin?

ResQ bins work best in locations where everyday vape users already visit and where a clear, public drop-off point helps keep used devices out of trash cans.

How Hosting Works

Simple Setup. Clear Rules. Real Collection Data.

ResQ works with host locations to place bins where they make sense, keep accepted-material rules visible, and track collections as the Take Back Program grows.

  • You apply to host a ResQ collection bin.
  • We confirm location fit, placement, and accepted-material rules.
  • Your location becomes part of the public Take Back Program network.
  • ResQ tracks volume, count, weight, and servicing needs as collections grow.

Why Host a ResQ Bin?

A host location helps make responsible household vape disposal more convenient while giving customers and visitors a practical reason to return.

Convenience for Visitors

Give vape users a visible place to drop off accepted devices instead of tossing them in regular trash.

Community Visibility

Show that your location supports a practical Take Back Program for household disposable nicotine vapes.

Potential Foot Traffic

Public drop-off locations can become recurring stops as the ResQ map and pilot network expand.

What Goes in the Bin?

Host locations should keep the program focused on household, post-consumer disposable nicotine vapes. Bulk or commercial material needs a separate inquiry.

Accepted

Household used disposable nicotine vapes from everyday users.

Not Accepted

THC, cannabis products, tanks, pods, mods, bottles, damaged devices, loose batteries, or large e-waste.

Commercial Waste

Inventory, recalls, overstock, confiscated devices, and bulk business waste should not go into public bins.

Good Host Fit vs. Not a Fit

The best host locations can keep the bin visible, accessible, and aligned with the household-only Take Back Program rules.

Good Fit

Public-facing locations with steady visitors, staff awareness, and a clean place to position the bin.

Needs Review

Schools, municipalities, campuses, and controlled environments may be better suited for a 10x10x10 box option.

Not Public Bin Material

Businesses trying to dispose of inventory, confiscations, recalls, damaged stock, or bulk vape waste.

Schools, Cities, and Controlled Programs

If your organization needs a discreet non-advertising option, ask about our 10x10x10 mail-back collection box powered by G2 Nightshade.

This may be a better path for schools, municipalities, government offices, and community programs that need a controlled Take Back Program setup.
