What Types of Vapes Are Recyclable?

Most types of vapes can and should be recycled under the WEEE Directive, as they contain electrical components, batteries, and materials that can be hazardous if improperly disposed of. The key categories of recyclable vapes in Edinburgh include:​

1. Disposable Vapes (Single-Use Vapes)

• Brands like Elf Bar, Geek Bar, and other single-use e-cigarettes.
• Contain built-in lithium-ion batteries, plastic casings, and e-liquid residues.
• Must be properly dismantled and recycled due to battery fire risks.

2. Rechargeable Vapes (Pod Systems & Vape Pens)

• Includes brands like JUUL, Vuse, and Relx.
• Feature removable or built-in batteries, plastic pods, and metal components.
• Batteries must be separated and recycled safely.

3. Vape Mods & Advanced Kits

• Larger, more powerful devices with rechargeable batteries (18650, 21700 cells).
• Often contain circuit boards, glass tanks, and various metals.
• Require specialised WEEE recycling due to complex electronic components.

4. Refillable Vape Tanks and Coils

• Glass and metal tanks can be cleaned and recycled.
• Coils (made of wire and cotton) must be separated before disposal.

5. Vape Accessories

• Chargers, USB cables, and spare batteries should be recycled as electronic waste.
• E-liquid bottles (if plastic or glass) can often be recycled separately.

How to Recycle Your Vapes Properly in Edinburgh

• Never throw vapes in general waste – they can cause fires in bins and waste transfer facilities.
• Use dedicated vape recycling bins at retailers or WEEE recycling points.​
• Separate batteries and liquid residues before recycling where possible.
• Businesses selling vapes must provide a take-back scheme for compliance with WEEE regulations.

​
By recycling your vapes responsibly, you help recover valuable materials, reduce waste pollution, and prevent hazardous chemicals from harming the Edinburgh ​ environment.
