Recycle Your Vapes & Batteries Responsibly
At I Love Vapour, we're committed to making vaping more sustainable. That's why you can recycle your old vapes, e-cigarettes and batteries completely free at any of our stores.
Disposable vapes, refillable vape kits and lithium batteries should never be thrown into your household bin. Lithium batteries can become damaged when waste is collected, creating a serious fire risk in bin lorries and recycling facilities. By recycling your old vape, you're helping to protect the environment while ensuring valuable materials are recovered and reused.
Whether you purchased your device from I Love Vapour or somewhere else, we'll happily recycle it for you.
