Why use a pocket ashtray?
Small enough to carry. Useful when you need it.
No bin nearby? Keep your cigarette ends with you.
A pocket ashtray gives you somewhere to put cigarette ends when there is no suitable bin within reach. At the beach, on a walk or outside a workplace, it helps you leave the place as you found it.
A small piece of litter with a much bigger impact.
Cigarette filters contain plastic. When discarded, they can break into smaller particles and release chemicals into the surrounding environment. Rain and runoff can carry this waste into drains, rivers and the sea.
In 2022, the World Health Organization reported that roughly 4.5 trillion cigarette filters pollute streets, parks, soil, beaches and waterways each year. Carrying a pocket ashtray is a practical way to keep your cigarette ends out of that waste stream. Read the WHO source ↗
Carry it. Use it. Empty it. Reuse it.
Minibin is the original soft, reusable pocket ashtray from Smartstreets. It is compact enough to carry in a pocket or bag and keeps cigarette ends contained until you can dispose of them properly.
- Keep one with you so it is ready when no suitable bin is nearby.
- Use it according to the instructions supplied with your Minibin.
- Empty it into a suitable waste bin when the contents are fully extinguished and cool.
- Reuse it on your next journey.
A pocket ashtray does not need to be complicated. Its value is having a convenient alternative to dropping a cigarette end.
