Reduce, reuse, VapeCycle!
Our world-leading e-cigarette and vaporiser recycling programme has just launched New Zealand’s first at-home vape recycling bin.
Unsure what to do with your used vapes? VapeCycle's Home Collection Bin is the solution. Lightweight and compact, it has been designed as a low-effort, high-quality vape receptacle.
It features a generous 1.6L capacity and includes a removable metal frame insert, allowing you to add a bin liner (we suggest using a small eco-friendly bag and wrapping it over the metal frame inside).

Recycling Vape Batteries
Recycle your vape batteries by dropping them into a VapeCycle bin at a VAPO store or mailing them directly to TerraCycle.
Vape batteries will then be recycled. Metals such as aluminium and stainless steel are shredded, baled, and sent for smelting. E-waste, including batteries, will be sent to a specialised e-waste recycler for processing.
