E-Cigarettes/Vape Pens

Disposal

Please read the following information carefully, as proper and safe e-cigarette disposal is very important.

If you are not sure what type of e-cigarette you have, bring it to the household hazardous waste collection sites for evaluation.

Bring rechargeable and disposable e-cigarettes to the household hazardous waste collection sites for free. They should not be placed in the trash.

E-cigarettes with cartridges containing marijuana-derived products (e.g., THC or CBD) may be placed in the trash. They are NOT accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites. If possible, remove the rechargeable battery and bring the battery to the household hazardous waste collection sites for free.
