Because they get burned up after several uses, vape coils have to be replaced frequently. If you vape regularly, you will probably need a new coil roughly every two weeks. It can seem wasteful to go through that much metal so quickly. Luckily, vape coils can be recycled. Whenever you need to replace the old coil, don’t just toss it in the garbage. Instead, do some research about your city’s recycling rules for metals. You may be able to put any metal in your recycling bin, or there may be a specific location to drop off metal recyclables. Your local vape shop might take used coils to recycle, so be sure to ask. Be sure that you clean the coils before you recycle them. Then, remove the wicks. Wicks are usually made from cotton or some other organic material that can’t be recycled. Throw the wicks in your regular trash can and run the old coils under warm water, removing any grime from the wires. Once they’re clean, your coils are ready to recycle.
