Recycle Your Empty Cannabis Vapes at Altocanna With Fernway

At Altocanna, we want your visit to feel good from start to finish, and that includes what happens after you finish a product. That is why we are proud to partner with Fernway on their vape recycling program, so you can drop off your empty cannabis vapes at our Tribeca dispensary and let Fernway handle the rest. Where many brands say disposable, Fernway says recyclable. And when you recycle any cannabis vape with Altocanna, you will receive 10% off your Fernway purchase that day.
What Is the Fernway Recycling Program?
Fernway is a cannabis brand that started its vape recycling program in 2022, which it describes as the first of its kind on the East Coast. The idea is simple. A finished vape is not trash, and the materials inside it can be recovered instead of sent to a landfill. Almost everyone else in the category says disposable. Fernway's answer is recyclable.
Fernway runs the program through recycling boxes at participating dispensaries. You bring your empty vape, drop it in the box, and Fernway collects it and takes care of the recycling. Customers do not need to sort, clean or ship anything.
Over 350,000 Vapes Recycled
Fernway has now recycled more than 350,000 vapes since the start of its recycling program. Every drop off adds up, and we are glad Altocanna is part of it.
That number shows how much a simple habit can do. One empty vape is a small thing, but when thousands of customers choose to bring theirs back, it becomes a real reduction in waste.
Our Partnership With Fernway
Altocanna is a licensed CAURD dispensary at 110 Chambers St in Tribeca, and we want to give our customers easy ways to shop responsibly. Partnering with Fernway lets us offer recycling right where you pick up your products, so it fits into a trip you are already making.

Tips for Recycling Your Vape
- Keep a small container at home. Set aside a drawer, jar or bag for finished vapes, so they are easy to bring along.
- Store them safely. Keep empty vapes out of reach of children and pets, just like your other cannabis products.
- Do not throw them in the trash. Fernway notes that lithium ion batteries in regular trash can create a fire hazard, so dropping them in the recycling box is the better choice.
- Ask us if you are unsure. Our team can tell you what the box accepts and how it works.
What Happens to Your Vape After You Drop It Off
According to Fernway, the vapes it collects are recycled in a certified facility. Recycling lets valuable materials such as surgical grade steel, cobalt, lithium and nickel safely reenter the supply chain. Fernway says this supports a circular economy and reduces waste.
You can read more about how the program works on Fernway's recycling page and sustainability page.
Why It Matters
Vapes combine plastic, metal and a battery, so they are harder to dispose of than most packaging. Giving them a second life keeps those materials in use and helps reduce waste. It is a small habit that you can add to a regular trip to the dispensary.
For many customers, it also feels good to know that the products they enjoy come with a way to close the loop. That is the idea behind Fernway's message: do good, feel good.
