ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Ocean City anti-plastic initiative partners with businesses to stop beach trash at its source

TerraCycle Include USA Cigarette Recycling Program
The receptacles will collect butts to be shipped for free to Terracycle, a company that helps connect hard-to-recycle waste with recycling programs funded by brands, manufacturers and retailers around the world. The cigarette waste will be melted into hard plastic that can be remolded into new products, like industrial plastic pallets and benches, while the ash and tobacco are separated and composted, according to the company’s website.
