Cigarette Butt Bins to clean up butts

Sept. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- According to the Cigarette Butt Trust this adds up to 6.8 billion butts entering the environment. In 2004 butts were responsible for 17% of all Clean up Australia’s rubbish collected nationally. While a great proportion of cigarettes are disposed of properly, millions of butts are ending up in the Australia’s environment as rubbish.

While a certain percentage of smokers will throw butts anywhere, most smokers will and do use ashtrays where available. The more convenient and readily accessible the ashtrays the more waste is captured.

The Cig Butt Bin ™ was developed to increase the convenience for butt disposal for smokers. As the units are inexpensive, property and facility managers can install more of them which lessons the incidence of littering. With the banning of smoking indoors, smokers are typically asked to smoke in designated areas outside buildings and invariably close to entrances. The unsightly mess of strewn cigarette butts is preventable with a few wall mounted Cig Butt Bins as each hold up to 600 butts. Being made of stainless steel also ensures a long work life and aesthetically pleasing finish.
