PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a simple and novel product to encourage individuals to properly dispose of cigarette butts," said an inventor, from Greeley, Colo., "so I invented the 4-BUTTS. My cost-effective design would be easy to use and empty, and it would help reduce litter associated with cigarette butts."

The invention helps encourage proper disposal of cigarette butts. In doing so, it can be used with various objects such as trash cans, light poles, flag poles, fence posts, trees, etc. As a result, it reduces litter. It also can be used to effectively hold a trash bag to a can. The invention features a fireproof and windproof design that is easy to install, use, and empty so it is ideal for commercial locations, smokers, etc.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
