Frequently Asked Questions
What is STOWE?
STOWE is a wall-mounted disposal unit for used nicotine pouches. It gives guests a clean place to put pouches instead of urinals, floors, and bar tops. It's built for bars, restaurants, golf courses, hotels, stadiums, and other venues where people use pouches.
How do bars and restaurants deal with nicotine pouch litter?
Used pouches tend to end up in urinals, on floors, and on bar tops, which means clogs, plumbing calls, and extra cleanup for staff. The direct fix is to give guests somewhere to put them. Venues can mount a STOWE next to each urinal, at the bar, and anywhere else pouches collect.
Where should used nicotine pouches (like ZYN) be thrown away?
Put them in a trash can or a dedicated pouch bin like STOWE. Don't flush them or drop them in a urinal, because pouches can clog plumbing. Don't leave them on floors or bar tops either.

How does STOWE mount?
STOWE's wall plate comes with 3M VHB adhesive already applied. Peel the backing, press it onto the wall, and you're done, with no tools needed. If you'd prefer a permanent install, it can also be screwed in.
How do you empty it?
The bin slides off the wall plate in seconds, and the plate stays on the wall. Lift off the lid, swap the bag, and slide the bin back on.
How big is it?
Assembled, STOWE is approximately 4" wide, 3.1" deep, and 5.75" tall. The height includes the wall plate, which carries the "POUCH DISPOSAL" label above the bin.
What is it made of?
STOWE is made of ABS plastic. Branded bins come in matte black or white, and Custom bins are white with a vinyl wrap.
Can it be customized with our venue's branding?
Yes. The Custom option is a white bin with a 3-side vinyl wrap carrying your logo and branding. The minimum order is 3 units, and pricing will be announced at launch.
How much does it cost, and is shipping free?
Pricing for Branded bins, Custom bins, and replacement bags will be announced at launch. Branded orders of 3 or more units ship free, and Custom orders, which have a 3-unit minimum, always ship free. STOWE isn't taking orders yet, so join the waitlist to hear when they open.
