Butt Free Australia is partnering with Tamworth Regional Council at the 2010 Tamworth Country Music Festival this month.
Aligning with the 'Don't Waste Tamworth' campaign, the opening night concert at the local football oval - Friday 15 Jan - was declared a Butt FREE event. Mobile butt bins were clearly highlighted with bright blue flags and a campaign poster reminded festival goers that 'Cigarette butts spoil everyone's Tamworth'.
Council officers handed out Butt Free Australia personal ashtrays and received glowing reports from cleaners at the close of the evening's entertainment, that very little butt litter was found! Butt litter in particular had been a significant issue is past years at this venue.
The mobile butt bins will be placed throughout Tamworth during the remainder of festival, and Council officers will continue to provide ashtrays to those willing to commit to butting it, then binning it for a Butt FREE Tamworth.
