Most cigarette butts are made from a plastic material called cellulose acetate, which is specifically designed not to burn easily. It may also be very dangerous to try and burn this plastic since it is meant to filter the toxic chemicals out of cigarettes. If you are able to get them to burn, then they may just be releasing those chemicals back into the air. Burning them yourself doesn’t seem like a safe option for disposal.

We have 35 locations and are considered convenience stores. One of our owners saw the “your butt goes here” unit and wants to explore further. If you could provide or direct me to someone to help me, that would be appreciated.

Thank you
