The problem is that it’s next to impossible to actually handle WEEE correctly even for occasional purchases like routers, hard drives, laptops, etc, so how on earth disposable vapes are meant to be appropriately disposed of is beyond me.

In South Wales, we can take anything like that to the local tip for free. Household batteries get put in a separate bag and put out with the recycling.

It wouldn’t be worth the trip for one or two vapes, but a bag full wouldn’t take a lot of space between trips.
