Smoking & Vaping

Smoking, which also includes using electronic smoking and vaping devices, is prohibited in:

• any enclosed public places and most enclosed places of employment
• any park, youth sports complex, or recreation area owned, leased, or operated by ACCGov.

If you smoke, dispose of your cigarette butts properly - they are litter. Do not put e-cigarettes in household trash or recycling, as they can start fires. Instead, take them to the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM), located at 1005 College Ave.

Trash & Recycling

• Place waste in the proper containers.
• Follow local trash pick-up schedules.
• Store your bins properly afterward.
