# How do I dispose of my Nicovape® Q Device or empty Nicovape® Q Cartridges?

Dispose of the device and cartridges separately. Your device contains a built-in lithium-ion battery, and cartridges can retain nicotine even after use.

### Disposing of the device

- Take the whole device to a collection service that accepts electronic products with built-in lithium-ion batteries. Your council can tell you where the nearest suitable service is.
- Do not put it in household rubbish, a household recycling bin or a hard-waste collection.
- Do not open the device, remove the battery or burn it.

If the device is swollen, leaking or damaged, tell the collection service before taking it in so they can advise how to handle it.

### Disposing of cartridges

Keep used and unused cartridges out of reach of children and pets. Leave each cartridge intact: do not open it, rinse it or pour liquid down a sink or drain.

For unwanted or expired cartridges, ask your pharmacist about returning them for disposal. For empty used cartridges, check local collection arrangements with your council. Do not assume a cartridge is suitable for household recycling.
