Binning vapes instead of recycling them correctly can cause fires.
This is dangerous for our waste and recycling workers and can cause extensive damage to our bin lorries and waste treatment facilities.
Never bin your vape at home. All retailers that sell vapes are legally required to offer vape takeback.
They can also be recycled at Household Waste Recycling Centres- many will have dedicated bins for them.

You can use it all over your garden too. Check out our suggestions 👇

Giving items a second life is easier than you think especially when it comes to our kids' old stuff! 👶💕
Here’s how you can pass on or donate those outgrown treasures:
👕 Clothes: Make sure they’re clean and damage-free before donating.
🧸 Toys & Games – Donate items in good condition (with all pieces included) to charity shops or local playgroups.
📚 Books – Many charity shops accept books, or you can refresh your collection by borrowing from your local library!
👔School Uniforms – Why not start a swap shop at your school? It’s a sustainable way to help families save money and reduce waste.
Thank you for helping us to support #FoodWasteActionWeek!

Food residues left on our tins, cans, jars, and other recyclable items are contaminants.
Too much of these will cause whole loads of recycling to be rejected.
Remove as much food as possible by rinsing any bottles, jars, tins, and cans and ripping any greasy parts off any cardboard boxes🍕
