ResQ Vapes is building Arizona's first public household vape drop-off network so everyday vape users have a cleaner, safer, and more responsible place to bring used devices.
Finally, a better place to put them.Drop-off access built for household vape users, not confusion.
The challenge
Vape disposal has been treated like an afterthought.
Disposable vapes are small enough to forget, but complicated enough to matter. They can contain batteries, electronics, plastics, metals, and nicotine residue. Tossing them into regular trash or curbside recycling is not the solution people actually need.
The missing piece is simple: convenient public drop-off locations where users already go.
We are putting drop-off access where vape users already are.
The ResQ pilot places household vape drop-off bins inside selected retail and community locations. Users get a simple place to bring used devices. Hosts become helpful local access points. Sponsors help make the network possible while bringing awareness to a real community problem.
What to expect
The pilot starts focused so the full network can be built right.
This is not a random bin drop. ResQ is testing a practical public collection model with real locations, clear rules, host participation, and sponsor support.
For vape users
This is for the person who has a drawer full of dead vapes and no good answer.
You bought the product. You used it. Now what? That last step has been the broken part. ResQ Vapes is building the missing disposal layer so responsible action is as easy as stopping by a participating location.
Business opportunity
The vape waste problem needs visible local partners.
Consumers are looking for a better way to dispose of used vapes. ResQ turns that demand into a network businesses can help build, host, sponsor, and be known for.
For the right shop, it creates a reason for customers to come back. For the right sponsor, it creates rare physical visibility tied to a real community solution.
Household drop-off and business waste are not the same thing.
Public pilot bins are designed for individual vape users bringing back their own used household devices. If you are a vape shop, school, workplace, venue, agency, or business managing collected devices, inventory, confiscated products, or bulk vape waste, use a dedicated ResQ box or talk with us about a program built for that stream.

Arizona pilot network
A better disposal habit starts with a place to go.
ResQ Vapes is building that place, one pilot location at a time. If there is a shop near you that should host a bin, tell us where to start.
