What should schools do with confiscated vaping devices? Improper storage and disposal can create serious safety, environmental, and regulatory concerns. In this recorded webinar, MASSP and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) welcome experts from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to discuss safe handling and disposal of vaping waste in schools. EGLE staff review hazards associated with nicotine and lithium-ion batteries, Michigan’s hazardous waste regulations, and practical strategies for safely managing confiscated devices. The session also covers waste classifications, disposal options, and available resources to help schools maintain safety and compliance.
