Cigarette Butt Recycling Program:
The City of Salem invites businesses, groups and individuals to adopt a Cigarette Butt Bin to be placed by the city at your selected location. Additional bins around the city will allow for the collection and recycling of more butts and keep our sidewalks, streets and harbor clean. The City will supply the bin, it’s installation, instructions and shipping labels to recycle the contents. The bin sponsor commits to emptying the bin and mailing the contents on a regular basis.
There are currently 50 bins throughout the city and about 20 more are available for adoption. If you are interested in adopting a butt bin, please contact Micaela Guglielmi at mguglielmi@salem.com or 978-619-5672.
