♻️ A great morning of recycling with our friends from Chick-fil-A! Their employee recycling event gave team members a chance to bring in materials for responsible recycling, and we were glad to be part of it.

💚Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make the event a success. We’re always glad to work with community partners who are committed to sustainability.

♻️ Exciting news! Starting Oct. 1, we will accept v**es for recycling at both CHaRM locations.

🚩Disposing of v**es presents a significant challenge. They contain lithium-ion batteries and other materials that should not go in household trash or traditional recycling bins. To address this growing issue, we are launching a pilot program in partnership with Novus Solutions LLC, which provides safe and environmentally responsible v**e recycling services. Novus is an R2v3- and RIOS-certified recycler with the expertise required to safely manage these materials.

While Live Thrive does not endorse the use of v**es or to***co products, this program provides a responsible disposal option and helps reduce the risks associated with improper disposal.

Don’t throw away your used v**es. Recycle them responsibly. ♻️

💲 $1 per v**e for up to 1 pound
💲 1lb+ @ $3.50 per pound
