Dyna-Mig taking part in national cigarette butt recycling program

Dyna-Mig is doing its part to keep cigarette butts from ending up in landfills or the streets.

It’s joined a national recycling program. The program, which has been put together by TerraCycle, is aimed at doing something with 73 million butts, other than throwing them away.

The company turns them into various industrial products and compost.

On top of that participants earn points that can be redeemed for cash donations to non-profits which so far have just passed $53,500 nationwide. Dyna-Mig’s points were used to buy 92 bee homes.
