stands Cigarette Litter Receptacle Order Request

Keep America Beautiful affiliates and partner organizations have an opportunity to participate in a KAB initiative to place 5,000 litter stands to collect and recycle cigarette butts in communities nationwide and educate adult smokers 21+ on the importance of disposing of their cigarette butts properly.

Affiliates and community partners are being given the opportunity to enter locations (city and zip code) on a map to indicate where they would like to see a litter stand installed. As stands are placed, an interactive map will populate showing locations that have been selected.
