Cigarette Litter Prevention Program

In the past decade, cigarette smoking in America has decreased 28%, yet cigarette butts remain the most littered item–in the U.S. and across the globe. Dropping cigarette butts to the ground, putting them in planters, and disposing of them in waterways is littering.

Why do smokers litter? Mostly, it’s lack of awareness about the environmental impact and insufficient ash receptacles. New ordinances are also moving more smokers outdoors or to designated areas.

Cigarette butts are unsightly, costly to clean up, and harmful to waterways and wildlife. Get the facts.

Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Ltd. recently received a federal grant from Keep America Beautiful Inc. to help raise awareness that cigarette butts are litter too.
