Cigarette Litter Recycling
Keep New Hanover Beautiful’s largest initiative is to work with businesses, property owners and organizations across New Hanover County to recycle their cigarette litter.
To date we have recycled over 850lbs!
Keep New Hanover Beautiful volunteers install collection canisters, and maintain them by emptying the cigarette waste weekly. The waste is then packaged and shipped to our corporate partners at TerraCycle, who recycle the materials into plastic pellets and compost materials.
