The clean-up is costly.

At annual volunteer clean-ups, filters are the singular, most common item collected. This would not be at municipal beaches which have professional cleaning. Rather, at estuary points where slobs put their fishing lines in the water and throw the cig. butts on the beach.

Plastic bottles come in second.
