Cigarette waste collector is architecturally styled to blend with commercial settings. Galvanized steel inner canister holds large quantities of cigarette waste. Restricted opening shields butts from open view and weather that can scatter them. Design of opening discourages mixing ignitable trash with smoldering butts while reducing oxygen flow to discourage burning. Steel base plate adds weight for stability and discourages theft. All-weather collector requires no sand and fewer cleanings than traditional ashtrays. Two-piece design makes cleaning quick and easy.
