        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.

            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.

            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…

      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.

      Yeah I don’t have one around ^^

      Actually though that’s not true, last night I found an old device of me that I could harvest a 18650 battery from.
