Clean-up Costs

• Keep America Beautiful estimated the United States spends about $11,5000,000,000 every year cleaning up litter.

• A typical American city will spend between US$3,000,000 and US$16,000,000 a year just to clean up tobacco litter.

• Coastal communities pay park employees to clean up beaches and parks.
  • These workers would prefer beaches and parks to be tobacco-free because it would mean less clean up work for them to do.
