No ‘butts’ about it: Neptune Beach has new place for cigarette trash

Beaches Go Green has teamed up with Keep America Beautiful to install 65 cigarette butt collection canisters across Neptune and Atlantic beaches. “Cigarette butts aren’t made of just paper,” said Anne-Marie Moquin, the founder of Beaches Go Green. “They have cellulose acetate in them, which is a form of plastic and so they can take up to five years or longer to break down.”
