We have designed and Patented a brand new approach to cigarette and chewing gum litter control. We have just won a pan European Red Dot product Design Award 2008 and our Smartstreets-Smartbin has now been adopted by over 35 Councils across Europe. If you are interested to see what we are doing and find out why our approach is working extremely well in cities across Europe please visit www.smartstreets.eu and www.smartstreets.co.uk Our litter bins are made from recycled aluminium and stainless steel and reduce clutter by wrapping around existing street furniture such as lamp-posts and sign-posts (as well as fixing onto walls and railings) - making it a sustainable solution to a very messy, damaging litter problem. We hope to be appearing in a city near you soon .. and that cigarette and gum litter will be reduced as a result to everyone's benefit. Thank you for your interest - from all at Smartstreets Ltd, London, UK +44 (0)20 8742 3223 sales@smartstreets.co.uk Hi..

There is a BIG fine if you toss your cig on BLM owned land!!! It's a federal offense! Something to think about -- because our climate is so dry. Then there’s always the fire danger!

That is one thing I can say I hate too, even having a smoke here and there. I've put my cigarettes out and threw them in the garbage. It looks disgusting and I dislike myself for even being involved. But cigarette butts on the ground, ewww! I want to just pick them up and throw them at the people who do this. At myself for even indulging. I apologize if I ever did it, don't do it anymore and will certainly tell anyone I see to respect the environment. -smoker unanonymous You’re so right.
