Cigarette Litter Prevention Program

Join us in the fight to eradicate cigarette butt litter by encouraging your friends and family members to properly dispose of their cigarette waste!

​

Did you know?

  • Cigarettes take up to a decade to biodegrade

  • Toxins from cigarette litter contaminate groundwater

  • Cigarette litter is harmful to wildlife

  • Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world

  • Cities spend millions cleaning up cigarette litter

​

We want to partner with you!

OKC Beautiful partners with organizations across Oklahoma City to prevent cigarette litter. We provide receptacles - you collect and send the cigarette waste to Terracycle. These materials are repurposed into a hard plastic made into industrial products, like benches and plastic pallets. 

Current Partners:

  • Downtown OKC

  • Midtown OKC

  • Plaza District

  • West Village

  • Riversport OKC

  • OKC Farmers Market District

  • Homeless Alliance

  • Neighborhood Services Organization

​
