Americans throw away 5 disposable vapes every single second. 🚫 That’s 150 million a year — and over half end up in the trash.
Vapes contain lithium batteries, nicotine, lead, and mercury. In landfills they leach toxins into soil and water. In garbage trucks, batteries can catch fire.
There’s no easy way to recycle them — but there are places to drop them off safely.

Today is Earth Day. 🌍
And every day in LA, we throw away 378,000 pounds of plastic.
Not because we don’t care.
Because nobody told us where else it could go.
That’s why we built Reroute — a free community directory of every place in LA to donate, repair, gift, swap, refill, and recycle instead of landfill.
Refuse. Reduce. And when you can’t —
Reroute. 🌿
Directory coming soon.
