The safe way to get rid of your vape

TossVape kiosks are locked drop boxes for disposable vapes, pods and e-liquid bottles. They sit in school offices, libraries and stores, and keep lithium batteries out of the trash.

No camera. No names. Just drop it.

Request a kiosk How it works
Why it matters

A vape is a battery with a mouthpiece

Fires in trucks and plants

Every disposable vape has a lithium-ion battery. Crushed in a garbage truck or a sorting line, it can short and start a fire.

Not meant for the trash

Many states ban batteries and e-waste from household trash, and leftover nicotine liquid can count as hazardous waste.

Nowhere to take them

Most people have no idea where a used vape should go, so it ends up in a drawer, a trash can or the street.

How it works

Drop it in. We take it from there.

  1. Push the flap, drop it in

    No app, no account, no button. The flap swings inward and closes behind your hand.

  2. It stays locked away

    A baffle keeps anything from being pulled back out. The kiosk counts and weighs each drop and watches its own temperature.

  3. Handled by licensed pros

    When the box is due, a licensed hazardous-waste handler collects the sealed liner for safe disposal.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is it really anonymous?

Yes. There is no camera, no login and no screen showing what is inside. Nobody records who drops anything.

Does it cost anything to drop off?

No. Dropping off is always free. Sites pay a monthly service fee that covers the kiosk, collection and disposal.

Where is the nearest kiosk?

Our first kiosks are being placed in Colorado. A live map will appear here as sites go live.

What happens to the vapes?

A licensed hazardous-waste handler collects the sealed liner and disposes of it safely and legally.

Can someone take vapes back out?

No. An inner baffle blocks hands and tools, the service door is locked, and the kiosk alerts staff if its weight drops when nobody is emptying it.

Who empties the kiosk?

We do, or a licensed handler we arrange. The kiosk tells us when it is getting full or when your site's time limit is close.
