Well-designed ashtrays and smoking control systems keep entrances, walkways, and outdoor areas cleaner and more welcoming. This guide explains how to choose the right cigarette waste systems for your property while supporting local regulations and tenant expectations.
Without dedicated ashtrays or smoking stations, cigarette butts quickly collect near doors, parking lots, and sidewalks. This creates:
Providing clear, well-placed smoking receptacles encourages proper disposal and reduces cleanup time.
Tall or pedestal-style units designed for placement near entrances, designated smoking areas, and employee break spots. Many feature weighted bases for stability and restricted openings to hide butts from view.
Ideal where ground space is limited. These mount near doors or on walls in designated smoking zones and help keep walkways clear.
Integrate a trash receptacle and ashtray in one unit, reducing clutter and making it easier for users to dispose of both general waste and cigarette butts in a single location.
Work within local smoking bylaws and building rules when choosing locations for ashtrays:
Choosing the right size and design makes maintenance easier and improves safety.
