How to dispose of cigarette butts

Cigarette butts

  • Put into your black cart

Put cigarette butts and ashes into your black cart as garbage.

  • Make sure the cigarette is fully extinguished before throwing away.
  • Cigarette ashes need to be double bagged and tied closed for dust control before going in the garbage.

Special instructions

  • Do not put cigarette butts in the green cart as they are not compostable. 
  • Never flush cigarette butts or cigarette ashes down your toilet, sink or drain as they may be harmful to the environment and may cause damage to the pipes in your home.
