I know they are small batteries but I have to wonder how much hazardous shit is being thrown away with disposable vapes. Especially ones that get recharged a few times before being tossed with a charge still held.
(In the Southern US) Its bad enough with alkaline/lead acid batteries being tossed in the waste system. We really need programs to deal with battery waste. When I worked at Radioshack in the 2000s we were one of the only local places people could drop battery waste off at for recycling and now those are all long gone.

Local medical cannabis dispensary had zero leads when I asked about a recycle program for disposable THC vapes they sell that aren't able to be separated from their batteries.
