Cigarette Recycling

Our Cigarette Recycling Programdiverts cigarettes and associated materials from the landfill and instead gives them a second life.

How it works

Bellevue College’s grounds crew collects the cigarettes and ash from within the eight designated smoke huts around campus. The collected material is then sent to Terra-Cycle, a company that recycles and transforms what would be waste into useful items such as pallets ad park benches. Who knew cigarettes could be anything but litter!

Accepted Items

  • Extinguished Cigarettes
  • Cigarette Ash
  • Cigarette Filters
  • Tobacco Packages
  • Foil Packaging
  • Rolling Paper
