Smoking-related litter

 
Cigarette butt

Since the introduction of the ban on smoking in public places, there has been an increase in smoking-related litter on our streets.

We are one of only 10 local authorities working with Encams, the people behind the Keep Britain Tidy campaign, to encourage smokers to dispose of their cigaratte ends responsibly.

We are:

  • increasing cigarette bin provision
  • carrying out a local media campaign
  • supporting the campaign with enforcement

When it comes to disposing of your cigarette end, the message is: no butts - stub it, bin it.
