'Park Your Butts!' highlights cigarette recycling in Salem
Include USA Salem cigarette recycling
Butt bins for cigarette recycling have been placed around the downtown area and labeled with bright yellow decals to make them visible. Once full, butts are sent to New Jersey-based TerraCycle, where they are recycled into industrial-grade plastic goods. Future plans for “Park Your Butts” include enlisting the help of local business owners and Salem residents to increase the usage of the bins and to expand the program outside of the downtown district to city parks and other neighborhoods.
