Smoking outside
eliminates household odors.
Smoking outside is sometimes the only option for smokers. One of the downsides of smoking is the smell that permeates its surroundings. For people who don't want to smoke at home or in their office, taking it outdoors is ideal. But, it's unsightly and dangerous to dispose of cigarettes on the ground. Thus, outdoor ashtrays are a way of disposing the cigarettes safely.
Tower Bin
One of the most common types of outdoor ashtrays is the tower bin. This is most used in commercial areas but can also be used in a residential backyard area. It does look somewhat commercial, though, and is not decorative at all. The tower bin style of outdoor ashtrays holds a substantial amount of cigarette butts.
Colorful Buckets
If you are hosting a party and need a budget-friendly type of outdoor ashtray, consider small to medium-sized colorful buckets that are filled halfway with water. Use colors such as bright yellow, green or pink. Place them on side tables or in corners. Put these ashtrays in areas where people naturally congregate to smoke.
Ceramic
Decorative ceramic outdoor ashtrays are an unusual idea. One option is an ashtray with an Indian or Moroccan decor. Ceramic outdoor ashtrays generally come in two parts. There is the lower part that houses the ashes and cigarettes and a lid that can be removed or put on it. This type of outdoor ashtray doubles as decor.
