Environmental Harm:
Vapes leak toxic nicotine and lithium into soil and water, while their plastic shells persist for centuries, littering streets, rivers, and oceans, and harming wildlife.

Fire Risks:
Lithium batteries in vapes can spark fires when crushed in trash, endangering sanitation workers and waste facilities.

Massive Waste:
Over 7 million disposable vapes are sold daily worldwide, with most ending up in trash or worse, put end to end, you’d have 7,010 miles* of annual vape waste—enough to span the U.S. twice, daily.

Keeping Hazardous Waste Out of Landfills
We’re committed to keeping hazardous materials out of landfills and off our streets in Mesa and Greater Phoenix.
Choose Sustainable Refillable Vapes
We also encourage switching to refillable vapes with locally sourced e-juices—a sustainable alternative to disposables, which often rely on environmentally questionable nicotine oils from China.
Respecting Choice, Prioritizing Sustainability
While we respect your choice and see vaping as a better option than smoking (affecting mainly the user), we believe responsible disposal and sustainable choices benefit us all.
