When it ends up on the ground and not in a
receptacle, a cigarette butt is litter. Cigarette butts are
an emerging national litter problem; although they are one
of the smallest pieces of litter, they are consistently the
top item collected during cleanups and account for one of
every three pieces of litter.
Since 2002,
Keep America
Beautiful, the nation’s largest nonprofit community
improvement organization, has been working with communities
across the U.S. to combat this problem with its Cigarette
Litter Prevention Program. |
