🚭 This , let's tackle one of the most littered items in the US: cigarette butts!

Cigarette filters don’t break down naturally and persist in our environment when littered. But thanks to the Cigarette Litter Prevention and Recycling Program (CLPR) and our collaboration with TerraCycle US, cigarette butts CAN be recycled! ✨

For every pound of ci******es recycled, $1 is donated to Keep America Beautiful. Learn how you can make a difference today: https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/cigarette-waste-recycling
