Cigarette butts are tiny, but they’re really bad news for the environment. Cigarette butts dropped in the street or in our waterways leach toxic chemicals into our soil and water. They can also be dangerous, particularly in bush fire season.

Keep our beaches, natural areas and waterways clean and bin your butt, or carry a pocket ashtray with you.

Council rangers can issue fines to people who litter with cigarette butts.
