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.
