Disposable Vapes Can't Be Reused, Recycled Or Trashed. So What Happens To Them?

With the growing popularity of disposable e-cigarettes, communities across the U.S. are confronting a new vaping problem: how to safely get rid of millions of small, battery-powered devices that are considered hazardous waste. For years, the debate surrounding vaping largely centered on its risks for high school and middle school students enticed by flavors like gummy bear, lemonade and watermelon. But the recent shift toward e-cigarettes that can’t be refilled has created a new environmental dilemma. These single-use devices containing nicotine, lithium and other metals cannot be reused or recycled and _ under federal environmental law _ aren’t supposed to go in the trash. U.S. teens and adults are buying roughly 12 million disposable vapes per month. With little federal guidance, local officials are finding their own ways to dispose of e-cigarettes collected from schools, colleges, vape shops and other places. "So the destruction of vapes when it comes to destroying it, to classify it as hazardous material. So an average barrel for us, which takes about 1200 vapes cost us about 1,400 dollars to destroy the product," said New York Sheriff Anthony Miranda, who leads a task force on the issue. In 2020, New York City outlawed the vast majority of e-cigarette varieties, banning flavors that can appeal to youngsters. City employees conduct thousands of inspections annually, and last year they issued more than 2,400 citations to corner stores and bodegas selling illegal flavored products. Adding to supply are THC vapes sold at hundreds of unlicensed marijuana shops, a separate but related problem that has mushroomed since New York's legalization of recreational pot. #vape #vapelife #evape #vapebaninus Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
