Keep Smyrna Beautiful has new Pocket Ashtrays!
Pocket Ashtrays are hand-held portable ashtrays which give smokers the opportunity to properly dispose of
their cigarettes. The ashtrays are small, attractive, and made to last. Keep Smyrna Beautiful has them
available at their office at the Smyrna Community Center for $1 (their replacement cost).
Many smokers may not realize the harmful effects of dropping cigarette butts. The butts do not decompose,
and carry harmful toxins into the environment. Cigarette butts are also a fire hazard, as they can
re-ignite and cause fires.
Help Keep Smyrna Beautiful by Recycling Your Old Cell Phones!
The Smyrna Recycling Center is now accepting cell phones, pagers, chargers and other mobile phone
components for recycling by a reputable company. Keep Smyrna Beautiful will receive a rebate based on the
value of the phone. Please bring us any old phones that you need to dispose of. Call 770-431-2863 if you
