Cigarette Waste Recycling Receptacle

TerraCycle is proud to offer a 100% rust-resistant aluminum Cigarette Waste Receptacle that allows an easy and accessible solution for recycling cigarette butts. The TerraCycle Receptacles can be attached in community locations, outside of your business or workplace, or in designated smoking areas to reduce unsightly cigarette butts from littering your premise. All cigarette butts collected can be sent to TerraCycle to get recycled for free through TerraCycle’s Cigarette Free Recycling Program.

Note: receptacles do not ship with the stickers applied, customer will need to apply stickers upon installation. 

How it works:

1. INSTALL | Install your cigarette receptacle in an easily accessible public location. Click here to view guidelines and installation instructions.
2. COLLECT | As a safety precaution, do not fill your receptacle more than about 3/4 of its full capacity. When ready to empty, place a bag or bucket beneath the receptacle and unlock the receptacle door with the provided key. 
3. RECYCLE | Aggregate all collected cigarette waste and seal it in a trash liner or plastic bag. Then ship the waste back to TerraCycle in a sturdy cardboard box using the free shipping label from your TerraCycle account. When we receive your waste, we'll safely recycle all of the collected materials.
