Ashtrays

Ashtrays help keep areas clean wherever people smoke: at building entrances, offices, cafés, hotels, manufacturing plants and smoking areas. With a tidy ashtray nearby, cigarette butts don't end up on the ground and the area looks well cared for.

Which ashtray to choose

• Wall-mounted ashtrays (Mini and Maxi) take up no floor space, are lockable and suit entrances or posts.
• Waste bins with ashtray collect both cigarette butts and small litter – such as coffee cups or packaging.
• Fire-safe models are designed so that if the contents catch fire, the flame goes out inside the bin. They are recommended where fire safety matters.

How to choose

• For cigarette butts only. The Mini hanging ashtray suits a small smoking spot, while the Maxi wall-mounted ashtray is for places where more people smoke.
• For cigarette butts and small litter. The hanging bins with ashtray AT20 (20 l) and AT35 (35 l) take up no floor space; the larger AT35 suits places with more litter.
• Fire safety. The 30 l fire-safe waste bin with ashtray is the right choice where fire risk must be kept to a minimum.
• Smallest capacity. The Brabantia 15 l waste bin with ashtray is the most compact model with an ashtray in this category.

Where to place an ashtray

Install the ashtray where people actually smoke – usually a few metres from the entrance, next to a bench or under a shelter. If the ashtray is too far away, the butts will end up on the ground anyway.
