Salem to Add 50 New Cigarette “Butt Bins”

They foul our water and harm marine life and birds,” stated Susan Yochelson, a member of SalemRecycles and Outreach Coordinator for Salem Sound Coastwatch, in the announcement. Salem kicked off the campaign in September of 2015, placing bins around downtown with yellow decals. The butt bins are later emptied and sent to New Jersey based Terra Cycle, where they are recycled into plastic goods.
