Cigarette butts are the most common trash item collected during beach cleanups, accounting for over one-third of the total debris collected in the past 25 years. The Ocean Conservancy’s annual beach cleanup volunteers have collected over 53 million cigarettes and cigarette filters, in addition to 9,549,156 plastic bottle caps, 14,766,533 food wrappers/containers and 7,825,319 plastic bags.
