There are a lot of abandoned cigarette butts on the streets. People can throw them out the window while driving or turn them down on the lawn. It is also common to flush cigarette butts down the toilet. All these methods have a negative impact on the environment, so it is worth finding out what to do with used cigarettes.
Where to throw cigarette butts? What about the packaging?
A pack of cigarettes usually consists of paper, outer foil and inner foil. If the empty card is in good condition, you can put it in the paper bin. If it is dirty or damp, it should be disposed of as mixed waste. Cigarette butts should also be placed there. In turn, both foils must be disposed of in the yellow container for metals and plastics. You smoked on the balcony and put cigarette butts in a jar? Dispose of the contents in mixed waste, the jar in the glass container, and the metal cap in the metal container.
E-cigarettes. What to do with used cartridges?
E-cigarettes have become very popular in recent years. They are very different from ordinary cigarettes, but they also need to be disposed of in accordance with the rules of segregation . Used cartridges should be placed in the mixed waste container. They cannot be thrown into the bio waste container, because they are not recyclable. The device itself is also not biodegradable. They must be thrown away at the PSZOK (point of selective collection of municipal waste), because they belong to electro-waste.
