The Butt Collector
The Butt Collector is a portable ash tray designed to reduce litter and the
potential for accidently starting fires. This product is currently under
development. Our mission is to provide a better way to extinguish and
dispose of cigarette waste. It is not our mission to regulate or convince
anyone of the dangers of smoking or suggest they should not smoke.
Simply put, we want to help cleanup the environment and minimize risk
of fire caused by discarded burning cigarette butts.
