Chicago Invests in 'voting boxes' to Combat Cigarette Butt Littering on Beaches
Include USA TerraCycle cigarette recycling
The Alliance for the Great Lakes and Chicago Park District are launching a pilot program intended to reduce cigarette butt littering on beaches using dual-purpose "voting boxes." The boxes serve as butt receptacles by acting as a ballot box in which smokers drop their "vote" into one of two compartments in support of or against something fun that involves rivalry. For instance, they will vote for one of two competing sports teams, or deep dish pizzas vs. Chicago-style hot dogs.
