TerraCycle Canada launches first national collection and recycling program for cigarette waste

July 9, 2012 - TerraCycle, a world leader in recycling hard-to-recycle waste, ranging from food and beverage packaging to hospital waste, has taken its goal of "outsmarting waste" one step further with the launch of a free program to collect and recycle cigarette waste in Canada. The Cigarette Waste Brigade program – in partnership with Canada’s largest tobacco manufacturer – will divert used cigarette butts, along with cigarette foil and plastic packaging waste, from landfills.
