Cornwall Council Introduces Vape Collection Boxes at Recycling Centres

Cornwall Council has issued a clear warning: don’t put vapes in your rubbish or recycling.

The devices can cause fires when they are crushed in lorries or at waste processing sites, posing serious risks.

New Vape Collection Boxes

To tackle the problem, Cornwall Council has introduced vape collection boxes at all of its household waste and recycling centres.

Shops Also Taking Returns

As well as using the new collection points, people can also return used vapes to larger shops that sell them.
