Glen Cove Lands $15K to Fight Cigarette Litter
Photo by Lora Cusumano
Glen Cove is launching a citywide effort to keep cigarette litter out of its streets and waterways.
The city received a $15,000 grant that will help pay for nearly 20 cigarette waste receptacles at selected locations.
Portable disposal pouches will also be distributed, giving smokers another way to properly dispose of cigarette butts when a receptacle is not nearby.
The initiative is intended to prevent cigarette waste from entering storm drains and eventually reaching the Long Island Sound.
Placement, regular maintenance and public use of the new receptacles will be central to the program’s success.

Stop Layering Serums. Start Drinking Your Skincare.
As the weather cools, skin often gets drier, duller, and tighter — no matter how many serums you layer on. That's because real hydration starts from within.
Pique's Radiant Skin Duo pairs two formulas that work from the inside out. B·T Fountain is a beauty electrolyte with clinically studied ceramides and ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Sun Goddess Matcha brings EGCG antioxidants that protect collagen and calm the stress that shows up as dullness and puffiness.
Skip the five-step routine: plumper, more even-toned skin in weeks is what keeps customers coming back every fall. This bundle sells out fast — once it's gone, it's gone until next year.
Lock in 20% off for life now, backed by Pique's 90-day guarantee. Shop the Radiant Skin Duo before it's gone.
