How to Recycle Used Vapes
To get your used vape parts ready for recycling:
- Make sure everything’s dry and free from liquid. Try to get rid of any leftover juice to avoid leaks.
- Check that the battery is completely dead.
- Don’t take apart the vape unit.
You can start collecting your used parts in a dedicated recycling bin or any container. Once it’s full, just drop it off!

We have recycling points across New Zealand, including spots in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown. You can drop off your used units at any VAPO store.
