Ban The Butt Capitola
Eliminate Tobacco Plastic Butt and Tip Waste in Capitola
Cigarette butts are the top items found at Surfrider beach cleanups and we need to stop this litter at the source. A ban on the retail sales of tobacco products with a butt or plastic tip would help solve the problem.
We are encouraging all five Santa Cruz County cities to pass a Ban The Butt ordinance similar to what the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors passed in October 2024 and the Santa Cruz City Council passed in June 2025.
Please contact your local city councilmembers and ask the to Ban The Butt! Here's their contact info:
