Overview
Call2Recycle powers the Recycle Your Vapes program, which facilitates the safe and responsible collection, management, and recycling of battery-powered vapes, e-cigarettes, and their components, including batteries.
Quebec’s amended Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations require producers of battery-powered vapes and e-cigarettes to ensure their proper disposal at end-of-life. Call2Recycle administers the Recycle Your Vapes program on behalf of leading vape producers (manufacturers and brand owners), offering a turnkey solution that helps them meet their Extended Producer Responsibilities.
Call2Recycle offers two distinct services:
- Private Vape Destruction and Recycling
- Retail Vape Collection and Recycling
Private Vape Destruction and Recycling Service
Call2Recycle understands the unique challenges businesses face when managing unsellable or surplus vape products, including pods, devices, and disposables. Our specialized Bulk Vape Destruction and Recycling service is designed to address these complexities through a seamless, secure, and compliant process that prevents unauthorized resale, ensures regulatory compliance, and protects your brand.
Our process is compliant with CRA and CBSA requirements and helps eligible businesses recover excise tax refunds for destroyed products that are unsellable or removed from circulation under Canada’s Excise Act, 2001.
Our streamlined process provides:
- Certified destruction that prevents unauthorized resale or misuse.
- Compliance with Canadian environmental and regulatory standards.
- Brand protection through ethical waste disposal practices.
- Hassle-free management of unsellable stock.
- Comprehensive documentation of our seamless, secure, and compliant process.
- The availability of representatives from the CRA and CBSA to witness the packaging and destruction or recycling process, ensuring the highest level of transparency and compliance.
Retail Vape Collection and Recycling
As part of Call2Recycle’s Recycle Your Vapes program, we offer Quebec-based retailers a turnkey collection and recycling service to help adult consumers easily recycle their used vapes. By becoming a collection partner, retailers play a critical role in helping to ensure the safe and responsible end-of-life management of battery-powered vapes and e-cigarettes.
Collection partners, including vape shops, register to become collectors of vapes and e-cigarettes. Call2Recycle provides all necessary collection materials, including specially-permitted UN-rated, pre-paid, pre-addressed, vape shipping boxes and program guidelines.
