Side of the road pretty common to see them

Not in Berlin. I see them sometimes, but not often enough. I want one now ^^

Out of curiosity, what do you think Berlin’s secret is in this regard? Like, do people naturally not litter e-waste, or are there easier recycling options, import restrictions, or enforced litter laws?

Assuming that you’re living in the US I think the secret is that disposable vapes aren’t as abundant in Germany yet.

i would guess near night clubs and the like… they’re more likely to use them, and drunk people are more likely to toss them willy nilly…

Yeah, I’m hoping to get at why. Drop-shipped disposables took over Juul’s market in the US and then grew it by about 600%. It was so dramatic (in a business sense) that it’s caused ripples in US and UK trade policy, and I just assumed that blitz was happening everywhere.

It could also be that Berliners are apparently collecting them 😂

Most that I’ve found have been on the ground near bus stops.

Some cannabis dispensaries collect old/dead ones to recycle.

Oh that’s a good idea, I think supermarkets also collect batteries in general to recycle, maybe there I can find empty vapes.

I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.
