Description
What is Grand Valley State University planning to do with all of the cigarette butts that have now resurfaced due to the melting of the snow and those that fill up the collection containers? The problem of cigarette butts littering the ground is common and several different universities and cities have already taken steps to make sure that this problem ceases from happening time after time. Cities, universities and individuals have started to work with TerraCycle to recycle the cigarette butts. In the following document you will find information about the issue surrounding cigarette butts as a form of litter, past campus initiatives, as well as how working with TerraCycle is both a sustainable and cost effective option. We will look at how to implement this program on Grand Valley State University’s campus and how to maintain the program once it is initially launched.
