The City of Moissac has installed about ten new ashtrays along the Tarn riverbanks and in the city center to facilitate cigarette butt collection and preserve the cleanliness of public spaces.

The City of Moissac has partnered with the eco-organization Alcome, which assists local authorities in reducing the number of cigarette butts discarded on the ground. This initiative aims to raise awareness among smokers about the environmental impact of their waste.
A cigarette butt thrown on the ground causes lasting pollution to our environment. The municipality reminds everyone that it only takes a few seconds to deposit it in an ashtray. The goal is to convey that smoking should not mean polluting.
The City encourages citizens to use the provided ashtrays and thus contribute to keeping Moissac clean.
