Cigarette bins can be a good way of keeping the outside of your building tidy. Emptying an ashtray of cigarettes is much less time consuming than sweeping or litter picking individual butts.

Keep Britain Tidy (EnCams) have a list of cigarette bin manufactures who offer a variety of discounts when you quote ‘EnCams’.

Bins vary in size, price and style and can be found here.
