Vape Collection Guidance:
-DEA will collect vape pens or other e-cigarette devices from
individual consumers only after the batteries are removed
from the devices. It is important to stress that the DEA is not
responsible for removing the batteries from the devices.
-If the battery cannot be removed, individual consumers can
check with large electronic chain stores who may accept the
vape pen or e-cigarette devices for proper disposal.
-Individual consumers may also contact their local Hazardous
Materials Management Facility to determine if they accept
these devices, and for additional guidance regarding proper
disposal.
