But there aren’t as many as there used to be. Since August, more than 15,000 butts have been collected at 23 aluminum and fire-resistant cigarette waste recycling stations installed on downtown light poles.
The project grew out of a partnership between the city’s Office of Sustainability, and nonprofits DowntownOKC Inc. and OKC Beautiful.
