Ditto for London. I assume most local council recycling facilities accept small electrical waste.

Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months agoThe problem is that it’s next to impossible to actually handle WEEE correctly even for occasional purchases like routers, hard drives, laptops, etc, so how on earth disposable vapes are meant to be appropriately disposed of is beyond me.
In South Wales, we can take anything like that to the local tip for free. Household batteries get put in a separate bag and put out with the recycling.
It wouldn’t be worth the trip for one or two vapes, but a bag full wouldn’t take a lot of space between trips.

You can do that for most of UK though, loads of places have a container for batteries, most supermarkets certainly do. People cannot be bothered.

Yep, we’re on the same page. The person I replied to said that it’s really hard to do, so I gave an example of how easy it is where I am 👍
