Alongside bins for papers, plastics and glass, visitors to downtown Branson can add cigarette butts to the list of recyclables. Mona Menezes, environmental specialist for the city, said the idea to purchase recycling units came from Sharon White, of the city’s recycling center, and former city engineer David Miller. “If you ever walk the downtown sidewalks, they have had cigarette butts littered on them,” Menezes said. “So (White) thought this would address that.” The number of cigarette butts on the sidewalk was also a concern for several downtown businesses and organizations, including the Downtown Branson Betterment Association.
