and maintain the receptacles on their properties.
The new KAB grant awarded to KTNRB will fund another

200 cigarette waste receptacles with the same educational art
wraps included.

Rather than disposing of the collected cigarette butts,
participating marinas will ship them to be recycled. TerraCycle,
a New Jersey-based company that recycles hard-to-recycle
materials, partnered with KAB in a nationwide effort, recycling
plastic cigarette filters at no additional expense. Fifty-two
recipients across the country participating in KAB’s 2019 CLPP
grant will participate in this recycling initiative.

Marinas located within the Tennessee River watershed may
submit requests for the free cigarette waste receptacles at www.
KeepTNRiverBeautiful.org/cigarettelitter.

The first batch of cigarette waste receptacles already
have been delivered to Tennessee marinas and will soon be
shipped to marinas in the other four states. The participating
marinas in the first round include in Tennessee: Boone
Lake Marina, Boone Lake; Jay’s Boat Dock, Boone Lake;
Greenlee Campground and Marina, Cherokee Lake; Lakeside
Marina, Cherokee Lake; B and B Marina, Chickamauga Lake;
Chickamauga Marina, Chickamauga Lake; Gold Point Yacht
Harbor, Chickamauga Lake; Pine Harbor Marina, Chickamauga
Lake; Volunteer Landing Marina, Fort Loudoun Lake; Birdsong
Resort, Kentucky Lake; Paris Landing State Park Marina,
