Vape Disposal
We are excited to share that vape disposal kits were provided to every Marin County public middle and high school at the start of the 24-25 school year!
The assembly and distribution of these kits, along with the development of standardized, county-wide guidelines, was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Marin County Office of Education and:
- Marin Household Hazardous Waste
- Zero Waste Marin
- Marin Sanitary Service
- Marin Health and Human Services
- Kaiser Permanente
- GAIACA
with guidelines inspired by and derived from Boulder County Schools' Electronic Smoking Device Disposal Guide.

Additional Information - Drop Offs
If your school site does not have a hazardous waste contractor to coordinate removal and you would like to arrange to drop off vaping device waste at the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility, your school site must:
- Have an active, permanent EPA ID Number (either state or federal). Look up your EPA ID Number status here.
- Generate and drop off less than 2.2 lbs of household hazardous waste per month
IMPORTANT: In the event that your school site does NOT have an active, permanent EPA ID Number, you will need to fill out this form and email a scanned copy to IDNumber@dtsc.ca.gov in order to be eligible to drop off vaping device waste at the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility.For more information regarding how to arrange a drop off at the facility, please refer to the guidelines outlined on the graphic above.
