WE’RE GETTING OUR BUTTS OFF THE GROUND!

Thanks to a grant with Keep America Beautiful®, Wacoans can keep our city beautiful by tossing their cigarettes in convenient bins. 25 bins are located across the city at Lake Waco, Brazos River, and downtown Waco.

It’s time to put cigarettes in their place! Be a good neighbor and toss your litter in a designated area. All cigarettes collected are recycled with TerraCycle! All bins are maintained by Mission Waco Street Sweep, employing those who are facing homelessness with a livable wage.

Since launching in 2022, we have successfully pulled 41 pounds of cigarette litter from our city streets, parks, waterways and downtown area!

Check out our bin sitemap to see where you can recycle your cigarettes!
