Recycle your used vapes — safely, near you.

- Registered charity No. 1207209
- 300+ public collection points
- 450+ partner shops
Service update. We have temporarily paused the issuance of DPD return labels. Guided by the Environment Agency, we are updating our operations to build a more efficient, compliant and sustainable service, including renegotiating agreements with our logistics partners. Thank you for your patience — collection points and our on-site collection service remain open.
How can we help you today?
Recycle them safely
Drop disposable vapes at a Green Wings bin in a shop near you. Never put them in household bins — the batteries can start fires.
Host a collection bin
Offer your customers a take-back point. Register your shop, request collections online and earn reward points for every kilo recycled.
Support our work
Donations fund collections, safe processing and research. Businesses and volunteers can partner with us too.
