Recycling your Ezee vape products

This page explains how to correctly dispose of your Ezee vape products in line with UK recycling guidelines.

At Ezee, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. As a UK retailer of electronic devices, we comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations to ensure the proper collection and recycling of electronic waste.

This page explains how to correctly dispose of your vaping device in line with WEEE requirements. It also includes guidance on recycling all packaging components including the box, plastic materials, silicone parts and inlays in accordance with UK and EU packaging waste regulations. This information is also provided with your order, either on the packaging or in the enclosed leaflet.

How to recycle your old vape

If you have purchased a vape or other electrical product from us, you can return your old, like-for-like item for free recycling. This means you can return your old vape when buying a new one from us. The item must be the same type of product (for example, vape for vape) and must have originally been purchased from Ezee.

Returning your device to us

The recycling service is free of charge. However, you will need to cover the cost of returning the item to us. To arrange a return, please contact our customer service team or follow the instructions provided in your order confirmation. We will guide you through the process to ensure safe and compliant handling. Please note that we do not accept products that were not purchased from Ezee.

Recycling Locally

If you prefer, you can recycle your vape at a local collection point.
Under UK WEEE regulations, vapes must not be disposed of in household waste or standard recycling bins, as they contain batteries and electronic components. You can find your nearest recycling point by using a WEEE collection locator. Simply enter your postcode and search for small electricals or vapes.

Why recycling matters

Vapes contain lithium batteries and electronic components that must be handled correctly. If disposed of in general waste, they can:

• Cause fires in bin lorries or waste facilities
• Release harmful substances into the environment
• Waste valuable materials such as lithium, aluminium and copper
• Recycling helps ensure these materials are recovered and handled safely.

Important

• Do not dispose of vapes in household waste or standard recycling.
• If your device has a removable battery, remove it and recycle it at a battery collection point where possible.
• If the battery is not removable, recycle the entire device as electrical waste.
