Pilot & sponsorships
The next great ad space is useful.
ResQ Vapes is building a 15-location Arizona pilot for household vape drop-off bins. Sponsors fund the public disposal option consumers already need, host sites earn traffic and trust, and communities get a safer path for nicotine vapes and lithium battery devices.
A focused Arizona test network before public drop-off expansion.
Brand visibility attached to a service people actually want.
Retail hosts become the place people can bring used vapes.
Household vapes get a clearer path away from common trash.
Why this works
Advertising has to earn its place now.
People tune out ads that interrupt them. But when a brand gives them access to something useful, like a safe place to dispose of used vapes, the impression feels different. It is not just visibility. It is gratitude, timing, and utility wrapped into one physical touchpoint.
The pilot model
A win for consumers, hosts, sponsors, and cities.
The pilot connects the pieces that are usually missing from vape waste collection: public access, retail participation, brand funding, and a tested operational process.
Selected host sites receive visible public household vape drop-off bins.
Signage explains household vape disposal and what does not belong.
The pilot tests location behavior, volume, messaging, and pickup timing.
Sponsors support the public collection network in exchange for useful visibility.
The goal is to grow a reliable household vape drop-off network across Arizona.
Sponsor opportunities
Own a lane before the category gets crowded.
Sponsors are not just buying space on a bin. They are helping create a disposal option customers are actively looking for. That gives the brand a more valuable role than a normal ad impression.
Claim early visibility
Get in while the network is still small, visible, and story-worthy. Early sponsors help define the category.
Show up at the disposal moment
Your brand appears where customers are already thinking about used devices, cleanup, and responsible disposal.
Protect the lane
Founding packages can be structured around category, region, location set, or campaign window.
Host a pilot bin
Become the place people bring their used vapes.
Host locations help test the real-world collection model. The right sites are visible, trusted, accessible, and willing to follow clear household-only collection guidelines.
Good host fits
Vape retailers, smoke shops, convenience locations, select community partners, and public-facing sites with steady adult foot traffic.
Not for business waste
Public pilot bins are for voluntary household vape returns, not store inventory, confiscated devices, or workplace waste.
What sponsors get
A physical network with a story people understand instantly.
Visible placement
Brand presence on or near participating public drop-off bins in selected pilot locations.
Impact narrative
A clear story: the sponsor helped make vape disposal access possible in the community.
Pilot insights
Early sponsors can learn what locations, signage, messaging, and user behavior perform best.
Brand territory
Turn disposal into the point of purchase.
Imagine a vape brand sponsoring drop-off bins across 15 retail locations where its products are already sold. A shopper walks in with a used vape, sees the brand that made disposal possible, drops the device, and can thank that brand by buying its product right then and there.
For nicotine vape brands, advertising is hard. Digital attention is expensive, restricted, and easy to ignore. ResQ creates something different: a physical brand presence tied to a useful action, reinforced by digital retargeting, retail visibility, and real customer gratitude.
The customer comes in for a reason that already matters: getting rid of a used vape responsibly.
The sponsor is seen as the brand funding the solution, not just another ad competing for attention.
The product is already nearby, making the gratitude moment directly actionable at the shelf or counter.
Pilot boundaries
Clear lanes keep the program credible.
The public bin pilot is built for household vape collection. Other waste streams should use the dedicated box or a custom program conversation.
Public pilot bins
For voluntary post-consumer household vape returns from individual consumers. These are the public drop-off locations ResQ is testing.
Take-back boxes
For vape shops, schools, employers, venues, and public agencies handling inventory, confiscated devices, workplace collection, or controlled waste streams.
Educational information only. ResQ Vapes does not provide legal advice. Program eligibility, accepted materials, transportation, and collection requirements depend on source, quantity, state rules, and downstream handling.
Founding sponsor window
Be the brand that made disposal possible.
The pilot is where the network becomes real. Sponsors and host sites that join early help shape the model before public vape drop-off becomes mainstream infrastructure.
