No Butts About It! Stadium Authority Working To Reduce Cigarette Butt Litter At Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The Maryland Stadium Authority is now working to recycle the most commonly littered items -- cigarette butts.

They teamed up with TerraCycle to collect cigarette butts and turn them into plastic pellets that can be used in a variety of recycled products.

The MSA is putting nine collection bins in high-traffic areas at all the properties it manages.

Any leftover tobacco in the discarded cigarettes will be composted.

The authority prohibited smoking at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium in 2013.
