Vape recycling extended around Oxfordshire
Oxford Brookes University will host recycle bins
The Recycle Your Vapes campaign, an initiative aimed at the responsible disposal of used vapes, has extended its reach in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University. Ten vape recycling bins have been installed at locations across their campuses in Oxford.
The campaign, which began in November, is part of a broader Oxfordshire-wide effort to combat the environmental impact of discarded vapes.
The service provides convenient and simple ways for disposable vapes to be recycled properly. The collection bins and other new services around the county have already stopped almost 20,000 vapes from being thrown away.
Look out for the 3-foot high, clear plastic tube vape recycling collection points on campus and at other recycling collection points at small retailers, pubs, and cafes across Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, and Kidlington.
Material Focus, a not-for-profit organisation spearheading the Recycle Your Electricals campaign, of which Recycle Your Vapes is part, has provided £40,000 funding for the project.
