    What HYRYSE collects

    This program provides customers with a convenient option for the recycling of cannabis packaging, and utilizes landfill diversion for the recycling of disposable vape cartridges and vape pens (as per current Canadian laws). The program accepts cannabis packaging, disposable vape pens and vape cartridges from every Licensed Producer, regardless of brand.

    Why can't I recycle cannabis containers at home

    Most cannabis packaging on the market today cannot be effectively recycled – different coloured resins and multi-material packaging complicate it, current recycling infrastructure doesn’t always support it, and therefore, throwing it in your curbside recycling bin is not as effective as you would hope.
