But as harmful to the environment as they can be (they’re made from a form of plastic that doesn’t degrade easily), butts are recyclable, which is why some cities across the country are tapping a national, mail-in recycling program to eliminate cigarette waste. Salem, Mass., and New Orleans are two such communities that have partnered with
TerraCycle,a New Jersey-based company that pays by the pound for cigarette waste.
There are a lot of eco-friendly companies out there, but no other company is quite like
TerraCycle. This company literally takes your garbage and makes practical products such as plant food, backpacks, frames, toys and more! This company pays schools and non-profit organizations for their trash saving 1000's of tons of waste from going to landfills. For every item return, TerraCycle donates 2 cents to the school or charity. This company is so amazing!

The Buttlers were purchased by the city and local businesses at about $60 a piece. Roylos self-financed a trial run of seven Buttlers last year, and collected about one five-gallon bucket of litter per receptacle. The butts are shipped at no cost to a company called TerraCycle, which converts them into shipping pallets, railroad ties, and benches.
