♻️ You can now recycle used vapes from home

Place disposable or rechargeable vapes in your own clear, sealable plastic bag, around A5 size and leave it on top of your bin on your normal collection day.

Household batteries should continue to be placed separately in your council-provided pink battery recycling bag.

Vapes contain lithium batteries, which can cause fires if they are damaged after being placed in household waste or recycling bins.

Recycling them separately helps protect collection crews, recycling staff and facilities.

Remember :
💨 used vapes = your own clear, sealable plastic bag
🔋 household batteries = council-provided pink battery bag
🗑️ leave both on top of your bin on collection day
