Since 2018, more than 35 colleges have held cigarette butt and vape waste cleanups on their campuses collecting over 60lbs of waste!

Some Creative Tips for Your Cleanup: 

  • Melissa and Michelle at South Texas College kicked their cleanup off with a pizza party 
  • Charlene and Yliana at Roxbury Community College split their volunteers up into teams to see who could collect the most litter.
  • Andrew at Crafton Hills College used the butts collected to create an art installation
  • Colleges with waterfronts like Kauai Community College, North Idaho College and the College of the Florida Keys have shared how harmful cigarette butts and vape waste can be to their aquatic environments.
