BIG BUTT HUNT RESCHEDULED

The Big Cigarette Butt Hunt is back in Cairns for 2024.

In 2023, five teams battled it out for the prestigious recognition of collecting the most cigarette butts during the event, with a whopping 10,350 butts collected.

Teams are formed and on the day, they are allocated a street, as they navigate their way from Cairns Central, down to the Reef Eye on the Western Events Lawn along the Cairns Esplanade.

Teams are provided with PEP and biodegradable bags to collect the cigarette butts in. The team who has collected the most amount of cigarette butts in the 1.5 hours will be crowned the winner for 2024.

Sign up as an Individual, or to an existing team. If you would like to create a new team, just let us know via contact@nomorebutts.org and we'll add it to the list.
