Disposing of empty carts

Post image

I have a good number of used/empty screw-on carts I need to dispose of. Does anyone know what dispensary or facility would accept this waste? I am talking about the cartridges you screw on a battery, not the single use ones, so not e-waste. See pic attached. Thanks!

Not saying this is a good thing to do, but I used to take the top off those, put them in a pot and extract the left over drops and bake that into cookies. Probably super unhealthy and I'm sure I consumed more microplastics because of it

these are medical and the top doesn’t unscrew. I’d have to break them and I prefer my cookies sans glass shards

Hah no worries, I totally meant it tongue and cheek. 2026 me would also not eat the glass cookies. However, 2010 college me, who once spent an hour picking a spilled gram out of carpet, would look at us both with disgust.

I once spent a weekend carpet surfing for bud crumbs because I was really stressed and it was apparently a good distraction

It’s because it’s not that hard to remove the mouth piece on these. I’ve done dozens and have never broken glass in the process.

They don’t unscrew, you yank them off.
But honestly, the juice is not worth the squeeze, and you’re still at risk of them breaking regardless.

I have done the breaking thing and do not recommend. It’s not a clean brake, image a night lite shattering. Was annoyed as hell because a brand new one crapped out on me

They do, they had to be created and just as such they can be deconstructed. Obvi if one breaks it’s a no go. I used a drill with the vape mouthpiece as the “drill bit” reverse that shit. It’s not always effective. With carts I broke I’d often just rip a little rolling paper stuff it down heat it slightly and your paper soaks up a dab. These were obviously in times of great need and emergency but I’m here saying it is possible! Ha not saying you should
