Cigarette butts account for 1 in 5 pieces of litter we find at our cleanups. The Butt Blitz is an action-oriented campaign focused on raising public awareness about cigarette litter, while simultaneously removing as much of it from the environment as possible.

During the Butt Blitz, volunteers from across Canada pick up cigarette butts in their local communities, then send them to TerraCycle Canada for recycling. We hope to prevent future littering by raising awareness of the negative impacts that cigarette butt litter has on ecosystems and health.

Get involved by joining individually or with a team of 10 people to pick up cigarette butt litter around London this April! As part of the Canada-wide event, our goal is to collect 1,000,000 butts from the environment to be sent for recycling.
