We believe that a great portion of these 60 million cigarettes are disposed of properly, however millions of butts are ending up in the South African environment as litter, causing major problems.
While a certain percentage of smokers will throw butts anywhere, most smokers will use ashtrays where available. The more convenient and quickly accessible the ashtray is the more waste the ashtray captures.
The Ash n Ad ashtray was developed to increase the convenience for cigarette butt disposal for smokers. As the ashtrays are free*, property owners and managers can install more ashtrays, which decreases the occurrence of butt litter. With the banning of smoking indoors, smokers are typically asked to smoke in designated areas outside buildings and this results in unfortunately smoking right outside entrances. The unattractive messy sight of used cigarette butts is easily preventable with a few wall-mounted ashtrays, each holding up to 300 butts.
The ashtray is constructed from tough, weather resistant, rust proof & powder coated steel. This allows smokers to dispose of cigarette butts easily and hygienically while improving the state of the environment around a smoking area.
The ashtray is designed to be easily installed and made to last many years. This makes them a cost effective and ideal solution for property owners seeking to instate demarcated outdoor smoking areas while at the same time providing patrons and public a clean and hassle free environment to smoke.
Ash n Ad is the exclusive ashtray service provider for South Africa.
* We do charge a small installation and labour fee.
