Help Recycle Cigarette Butts

In partnership with TerraCycle, Keep Norfolk Beautiful is able to recycle cigarette butts. Please note that cigarette butts should never go in your blue City of Norfolk recycling bin.

Learn How to Recycle Correctly

Knowing what goes in your recycling bin and what does not can help make recycling more effective. If a recycling truck picks up too many bins with items that cannot be recycled, the entire truckload must be dumped--which includes all of the items that were properly placed in the blue bin. Help Norfolk avoid contaminated recycling by teaching yourself and others what goes in which bin. Remember--when it doubt, throw it out!
