Hello BEST,
A company named Terracycle is currently collecting cigarette butts to
be able to recycle them. Cigarette butts presently make up the largest
component of litter on the highway and are made up of toxic chemicals
that are harmful to our environment. Terracycle plans on upcycling the
cigarettes by creating items such as jewelry, vases and guitar picks
with them.
