I’m writing on behalf of the Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition’s Butts Be Gone team. We appreciate the great Nov. 15 BDN article about the Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition’s efforts to rid Belfast of the cigarette butts that litter streets and sidewalks in Belfast. We have already seen more people depositing their cigarette waste at the Belfast Transfer Station. Instead of poisoning Belfast Bay, these cigarettes will be sent to Terracycle where they will be repurposed into shipping pallets, ash trays, and plastic lumber. ~ Kate Hanson, Belfast
