Eliminating Cigarette Waste There are studies documented by healthbolt.net that regard cigarette butt waste as the greatest environmental litter problem in the world. These findings go on to say that approximately 1/3 of the 5.2 trillion cigarettes that are manufactured every year will end up as litter... that's a whopping 1,560,000,000,000 cigarette butts! What makes these findings so catastrophic is that, unlike most standard waste, cigarette waste contains toxic chemicals such as cadmium, lead and arsenic that can be released into our environment when improperly disposed of. Cigarette butts have been found in the stomachs of fish, whales, birds and other animals all over the world; causing health problems and even death to innocent animals who mistake a cigarette butt as food.   Though it is the job of smokers to responsibly dispose of their cigarette waste, it is the job of a property manager to take every precaution to avoid hazardous litter. If there is no place for smokers to dispose of their cigarette butt, they will almost currently flick it onto the ground. That is why a property manager must equip their location with plenty of ash trays and cigarette urns in all high traffic areas. A basic knowledge of where smokers like to smoke, and of the best product for these areas, will prove to be extremely beneficial in the fight against cigarette litter.   In Entryways There is a ban on smoking at most indoor locations you will find. Because of this, most smokers will usually want to smoke a cigarette just before entering and as they leave. Therefore, it is important to have the appropriate cigarette and ash receptacle with enough storage space for consistent use.   Smoker's Outposts or Smoke Stands Help to beautify your property and your entryway by including a product that is designed to be recognized by smokers and non-smokers alike. A Smoker's Outpost or Smoke Stand provides an attractive, upscale appearance that will enhance your image by keeping cigarette litter out of sight and hidden from public view. Smoker's Outposts are ideal for high traffic smoking areas because they have a large capacity used exclusively for cigarette waste. Smoker's Outposts are visually appealing and are much easier to clean than open urn receptacles. They are rainproof and they are made out of high-density materials such as polyethylene, aluminum and steel. Most Smoke Stands are equipped with internal cigarette snuffers that help keep your outdoor areas ash and butt free. Many Smoker's Outposts are built with matching waste containers and trash receptacles to create a matching décor throughout your property. Smoker's Outposts and Smoke Stands are easy to clean because most include a pail liner for your convenience.   Smoking Urns or Cigarette Urns Like Smoker's Outposts, Cigarette Urns have a large capacity used exclusively for cigarette waste. Though some come equipped with a place for standard trash, Cigarette urns are specifically designed to house little caused by cigarettes and other smoking tobacco products such as cigars. Smoking Urns are found in a variety of heavy-duty materials such as concrete, coated metal, fiberglass, and natural stone. To help put out the lit cigarette, Smoking Urns are usually filled with sand, cat litter, or a specially made filler stone that can be scooped out to removing the trash and cigarette butts without removing the sand, litter, or river stone. Most Smoking and Cigarette Urns easily mount onto the ground because they are equipped with built in anchoring system.   On Balconies At most hotels, balconies look out over luxurious pool areas and spectacular views. Therefore, the last thing you want is for people sitting on a balcony to toss their cigarette butts over the side. However, some people use balconies simply to enjoy the views, so a large ash receptacle or smoker's outpost would not be the ideal product to place on a balcony. The best cigarette receptacle for a hotel balcony is small enough to stay out of sight, but large enough to maintain its capacity and overall dependability.   Wall-Mounted Smoker's Stations and Ash Urns Wall-Mounted Smoker's Stations are the perfect receptacles for balconies. Mounting them onto walls is easy because most of them come with mounting hardware included with the order. They are made out of durable materials and include safety features such as a "mar-proof" epoxy finish that will resists burns of all kinds, but are especially resistant against cigarette burns.

These cigarette receptacles are simple to empty and are resistant to rain and other types or hazardous weather.   In Cars Smokers who spend their entire day behind the wheel of a vehicle have no choice but to smoke their cigarettes wile driving. Since leaving cigarette waste inside a car's built-in ashtray can severely reduce the resell value, a removable aftermarket cigarette receptacle is the perfect addition to a smoker's car.   Portable Cigarette Disposal Units If you're in the market for a removable aftermarket cigarette receptacle for a vehicle, look no further than a portable cigarette disposal unit.
