Three standing ashtrays installed in front of the Saint-Quentin-de-Baron town hall as part of the #MonMégotOuIlFaut program.

The commune of Saint-Quentin-de-Baron has joined the #MonMégotOuIlFaut program, deploying ashtrays and cigarette extinguishers to combat pollution and fire risks.

Since 2024, the commune has been a partner of the #MonMégotOuIlFaut program, launched by the organization Alcome. Thanks to this initiative, three standing ashtrays have been installed at key locations: near the municipal hall, the town hall, and the CCAS. Cigarette extinguishers have also been strategically placed.
This approach is part of the municipality's commitment to a cleaner commune, with a clear objective: to eliminate cigarette butts thrown on the ground. A single cigarette butt can pollute up to 500 liters of water and poses a significant fire risk, especially during hot weather.
The municipality reminds residents that a simple gesture, such as using a pocket ashtray or a public ashtray, is enough to contribute to this collective effort.
