Since 1st June, single-use vapes are out - BUT that doesn’t mean all vapes have disappeared... 💨 Big puff, pods, rechargeables - these are some of the new vapes coming in after the ban, which are similar to the disposable ones. Like anything with a plug, battery or cable, these electricals should always be recycled ♻️ If we throw vapes or electricals with batteries in our general rubbish, they can get crushed and spark dangerous fi res in bin lorries and recycling centres 🚛🔥 You can recycle your vape at your local retailer - visit @recycleyourelectricals_ to find all your local vape and other electrical recycling points. #recycling #londonrecycles #recycleyourelectricals
