City Centers.
Many community cigarette litter prevention programs focus on a downtown area. And for good reason. City blocks with high-density retail, nightlife, and tourism are likely to have a real need for cigarette butt litter prevention and education.
Downtown areas can benefit from all aspects of the Cigarette Litter Prevention Program, including distribution of pocket ashtrays and strategically placed ash receptacles. Downtown areas are also ideal for targeted media and education campaigns. Consider partnering with the local downtown association.
We were pleased and saw a big improvement over last year as there was an increased demand for ash receptacles, and reporting of cigarette litter rose. Media coverage was good and media are supportive.

In 2008, communities implementing a Cigarette Litter Prevention Program cut cigarette butt litter in half. Some reported as much as a 73% reduction.
