Advantages Of Patio Ashtrays


Most resorts and recreation facilities have patio and swimming areas where smoking is sometimes allowed.  One of the best ways to eliminate cigarette butt litter is to provide patio ashtrays for patrons who smoke.  Ashtrays that are used in outdoor areas must be made of a heavy and durable material and be easy to keep clean.  They also must be made to last for many years.  Not only that, they must be attractive but at the same time be somewhat discrete. 

Some ashtrays are small enough to sit on a tabletop and are designed to hold several cigarettes outside (while being smoked).  They can then hold several cigarette butts inside before they have to be emptied.  Cigarette butts and accompanying ash can be dropped through the hole on top and be out of view forever!    This feature is appropriate in areas that experience windy conditions because ash and old cigarettes don’t get blown around the surrounding patio area.  Many cruise ships and resorts use this type of ash tray in their outdoor pool facilities.’

The advantages of these special outdoor ashtrays are that they contain “snuffer” holes that put out a cigarette in a matter of seconds.  They are easily cleaned by a simple wash and can even be placed in a dishwasher to make them completely germ-free.  Special features include discrete hiding of old cigarette butts, a cleaner and more sanitary area for both smokers and non-smokers and colors that can be coordinated to match surrounding furniture. 

Because smoking is often banned in patio areas, it is important to have some type of receptacle where smokers can extinguish their cigarettes before entering.  These ashtrays can actually be quite attractive and are made to blend well into their surroundings.  They can be placed conveniently somewhere close to a patio area, keeping the entrance free of cigarette butt “litter”.  They come in many colors and can be wall-mounted or free standing, whichever works best.  Some are even combined with a trash receptacle so that not only cigarettes but all trash is disposed of before it finds its way into a patio and/or pool area.   Patio ashtrays can be placed anywhere – on the patio itself or somewhere in close proximity.
