Belleville, ON Putting Cigarette Butts to Use with Program

TerraCycle Include Canada (English) cigarettes
Belleville has just entered a partnership that can keep cigarette butts off the street and out of landfills.  “Cigarette butts are one of the most littered items in the world and they pose a real threat to our environment,” said Joseph Reid, general manager of transportation and operations services. “The plastic filters soak up chemicals, get tossed and release those chemicals – often into our waterways. By partnering with TerraCycle we’re proud to bring a sustainable solution to Belleville.”
