Vape Recycling

EACR Inc. provides commercial vape recycling solutions that allow institutions to safely collect and recycle vape devices, batteries, and components.

Commercial Vape Recycling Solutions

Vape recycling is a specialized service that sits at the intersection of electronic waste and universal waste management. Vape devices contain lithium-ion batteries, electronic components, and plastics—materials that cannot be safely handled through standard trash or recycling streams.

As vaping has increased, these devices are showing up everywhere: schools and colleges, office buildings, hospitals, transit hubs, gyms, stadiums, and other public facilities. Confiscated student vapes, discarded disposables, and damaged devices create a growing waste management and safety issue for institutions.

EACR Inc. is a licensed electronics recycler offering scalable, compliant solutions for managing high-volume vape waste. We provide on-site e-waste containers specifically designed for electronic waste, paired with scheduled or on-demand collection programs that protect staff, facilities, and the environment.

Why Vape Recycling is so Important

Disposable vapes combine multiple harmful materials in a single product:

  • Single-use plastics

  • Lithium-ion batteries

  • Circuit boards and wiring

  • Heavy metals

Research shows that millions of disposable vapes are discarded each year, with most ending up in trash or as litter. Studies also indicate that only about 15% of users properly recycle vape devices, leaving the majority to pollute landfills, streets, and waterways.

Once discarded, vape devices break down into microplastics and toxic leachate, allowing metals, chemicals, and nicotine to contaminate soil, groundwater, and aquatic ecosystems.

Electronics Recycling Container Program

EACR Inc.’s e-waste recycling container programs are the foundation of our commercial and institutional services. We provide secure, labeled e-waste containers designed specifically for electronic waste, including disposable vapes, and units with embedded lithium-ion batteries. These containers allow organizations to safely collect e-waste and vape waste on site while reducing environmental and fire risks.

Large-scale vape recycling containers can be placed outside buildings, near entrances, courtyards, loading areas, or other designated exterior collection points to safely manage high volumes of vape waste. These containers are designed for durability, security, and safe storage of devices containing lithium-ion batteries.

How EACR Inc. Recycles Vape Devices

  • Step 1: Collection & Transport: Vape devices are collected via container pickup or bulk removal and transported securely to our licensed recycling facility.
  • Step 2: Battery Management: Lithium-ion batteries are isolated, and separated, ensuring that regulated components are handled using proper safety protocols.
  • Step 3: Material Separation: Devices are separated and recycled according to their respective categories
  • Step 4: Responsible Downstream Recycling: Each material stream is routed to approved downstream recyclers. No vape devices are sent to landfills.
