First Butt Pick-up Completed at ZuZu

As you may know, in February 2017, we installed a Terracycle cigarette butt recycling receptacle outside the shop. This was prompted by the large volume of butts discarded on the sidewalk. They are not only unsightly but they pose a tremendous environmental threat to our water system as they are washed away into grates, streams and lakes. Terracycle offers several recycling programs and this is no exception. Once the container is filled, we empty it, print a shipping label and UPS picks up the package at no cost to us. It’s easy! The waste is then recycled into plastic products including pallets. Fabulous!
