What is a "green" way of disposing of cigarette butts?

Question

I ask because outside my work, co-workers have literally destroyed our back lot by chucking their leftovers on the ground. I finally got irritated and put an old coffee can out there, which majority of them are using, but I'd like to know how I can dispose of them in a way that I'm not just moving the trash from one place to another without actually helping. Otherwise, what's the point?

Answer 1

Eat them.

Answer 2

You just throw the whole can in a plastic bag, then toss the whole thing in Your heavy duty garbage bag (less smell)! duh!

Answer 3

there is nothing green about butts from start to finish.

Answer 4

Send 'em back to the tobacco companies...

Answer 5

You could burn them? Just don't let it get near any lake,streams, or creeks. The chemicals get in the water and poison the fish. Just dispose of them in a way that won't get dumped back in the environment.

Answer 6

the point is reefa save the world and smoke a lil reefa people now do it now

the greenest way would obviously be to not smoke at all because smoking is bad for you personally and the enviornment your killing yourself and polluting the air around you my suggestion would be for you to try to quit

Answer 8

What's wrong with moving trash to a dump?

Is the USA running out of land?

Answer 9

Byderule is correct, the "brown goo" formed by soaking butts in water is full of nicotine and is a natural insecticide.  You strain it, dilute with clean water, put in a few drops of dish soap (wetting agent) and spray lightly around the garden.

Answer 10

In a barrel with water ,to soak there

Answer 11

dumping in trashcan if fine.

Answer 12

The best choice is unfortunately in the garbage.  However, you've done a lot of good by keeping them off the ground for animals to eat and choke on.  Plus, they're just unsightly.
