Cigarette Litter Prevention Program
The Cigarette Litter Prevention Program (CLPP), now in its 11th year, is the nation’s largest program aimed at reducing cigarette litter. KAB developed the CLPP with funding from Philip Morris USA, an Altria company in 2002. The program has received additional support from RAI Services Company and Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company. Since its inception, the program has been implemented in over 1,400 U.S. communities. By providing people with easily accessible information about ash receptacles, pocket and portable ashtrays and other educational tools, KAB is making strides in educating the public and ensuring a cleaner tomorrow.
