Big up Big Manny, for telling it like it is. #Lit
Disposable vapes consume huge amounts of natural resources, contribute to litter, and can present a fire hazard at waste facilities.
But despite the ban earlier this year, there still remain many in use.
If they're not properly recycled, the valuable lithium contained in them will simply go to waste.
Visit the @recycle_now / @WalesRecycles Recycling Locator to find out how.

61 local authorities now collect toothpaste tube at the kerbside!
All toothpaste tubes are now 100% recyclable and industry trials have shown that these new mono-material toothpaste tubes can be successfully sorted and reprocessed through UK recycling facilities.
Under Simpler Recycling all local authorities will have to collect toothpaste tubes by the end of March 2026. We're working to raise awareness of the change among the public and local authorities.
The number of local authorities collecting toothpaste tubes at the kerbside has been increasing throughout #RecycleWeek. Our Recycling Locator has been updated for each area: bit.ly/4nemkEq
Where toothpaste tubes are not collected as part of your home recycling @BootsUK accept them as part of their recycle scheme.
