How To Dispose Of Vapes
Vapes should never go in general waste, since they contain batteries and e-liquid residue. Instead, take old devices to a designated vape recycling point or a household waste centre. There, staff can handle them safely.
When Are Disposable Vapes Banned
Specifically, the UK banned single-use vapes from 1 June 2025. So, since that date, retailers cannot legally sell or supply true disposable devices.
Are Disposable Vapes Being Banned
Yes, and the ban is already in force, not upcoming. As such, only rechargeable, refillable devices remain legal for sale today.
Can You Still Buy Disposable Vapes
Not in the traditional single-use sense, no. However, you can still buy rechargeable, disposable-style vapes at Buy Vapes. So, you can enjoy a similar experience, legally.
