Recycle vapes to cut fire risk, residents told

Users of single-use vapes are being urged to dispose of them at recycling centres to avoid starting fires.

Hampshire's recycling centres can accept all types of vapes and the guidance is not to dismantle them unless the batteries can be safely removed for separate recycling.
