San Mateo County seeks end to cigarette butt litter

Whether they're lying on the sidewalk or circling the storm drain, cigarette butts are the most widespread form of litter on earth - and the scourge of the Bay.

When some butthead throws down, just write him for littering. After awhile the tool will figure it out.

Butt chucking butt chuckers chuck butts all over the place. Such no-class vermin have not a bit of civic or personal pride.
What San Mateo County needs to do is employ,'Butt Cops'. LOL :)

The problem is, it's very hard to catch someone littering, especially when the litter is a small as a cigarette. Maybe we need a 25 cent deposit on each cigarette --- you get it back when you save and return all your butts.

Make it a dollar deposit and problem solved. Good thinking, bro. Streets will clean themselves.
