        I mean, if you dip it in water or make sure it’s not burning/warm to the touch when you throw it out, no harm can be done. I do agree with you about burning cigarette butts though.

            Yeah man, those people are pieces of shit. I also extunguished many burning trash cans in my time.

            That’s why, back when I used to smoke, I had to be 100% sure the cigarette was not even warm (by touching the end with my finger) before throwing it out.

                Of course, if you mean the ash tray on some trash cans. A normal ash tray, like the one on a table, however, will still get emptied into a trash can.

                    To be honest, if someone is stupid enough to throw burning things into the trash can, I don’t really think you can make them change their mind.
