For several years, the City of Falaise (Calvados) is involved in the fight against abandoning cigarette butts in public space, by implementing different actions.

800 ashtrays sold

Supported by Alcome, an eco-organization supporting communities to reduce the presence of cigarette butts on the ground, and offering solutions, information and actions to raise public awareness, the City was able to install new cigarette butt collection devices (6 out of 8 of poses).

They can be found at the Didier-Bianco sports area, at the Forméo aquatic center, at the Entracte cinema, on Place Holmann, rue Trinité and Place Belle-Croix.

Without forgetting the pocket ashtrays that we made available in the first half of the year in bars and community halls and distributed to each free area and each kiosk (800 ashtrays sold). Sandrine Petit, assistant for eco-mobility, eco-responsible cleanliness and living environment.

Actions already implemented

“We will soon make pocket ashtrays available in our buildings (City Hall, Mandela space, Forum, automata museum, castle, technical services, etc.).”

Awareness-raising actions have already been put in place, such as ashtrays with cans in the Fresnaye park or even stencils in front of sewer pockets.
