Ocean City's four newest benches come with an environmentally friendly origin story.   The three benches located on the Boardwalk and one at Seacrets are made from recycled cigarette butts as part of the Ocean City Green Team's Cigarette Litter Prevention Program created last year.   “Littering cigarette butts and cigar tips is unsightly, costly to clean up, and harmful to waterways and wildlife,” said Green Team chairman and Ocean City Councilmember Tony Deluca in a news release.   A campaign started in 2019 that involved making "butt hutts" available to local businesses willing to pledge their help toward collecting cigarette waste in coordination with the program's mission to encourage businesses, visitors and residents to properly dispose of cigarette butts and cigar tips. The huts were installed in highly trafficked areas with concentrated cigarette waste, according to a town news release. The huts were later emptied by volunteers and interns and sent to recycling company TerraCycle to be turned into plastic that could be manufactured into new benches.   The Cigarette Litter Prevention Program has received funding from the Worcester County Health Department, the Environmental Protection Agency and Keep America Beautiful, the country's largest organization aimed at eliminating cigarette litter.   The release shows the Maryland Coastal Bays Program is also working with the resort town to create a sustainable butt hut and recycling program to keep cigarette litter out of waterways.   “It’s through partnerships like the one we enjoy with the Maryland Coastal Bays Program that allow us to fulfill our objective and help preserve the environment for future generations,” said TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky.   Keep America Beautiful provided a $20,000 grant to assist with funding that endeavor along with additional messaging campaigns for residents and visitors.
