As far as burning yourself, I keep forgetting others may not have calloused hands like I do. You could always scrape it on the ground or on the side of a wall as an alternative. Grass even works.

I do like the ashtray tin idea.
So you just carry them? Or put them in your pockets? I do scrape them and try to put them out, before I started flicking them. However sometimes you can't tell whether they're completely put out or not.

Also I just edited my post, what do you do with the strips?

I put the butts in my pocket, or backpack, or disc bag (when disc golfing). I'm usually dumping a bunch of butts out when I clean em. It's better than littering. I used to mow a guys lawn that had parties quite often and after mowing, it was almost like it had snowed from all the filters left over from people just flicking their butts into the lawn. The filters are what take the longest to decompose, so thats what got me into doing what I do.

I used to work as a custodian at Disney World which is where I really began to discover how much it annoyed me when people tossed their butts on the ground. I bet I've literally swept up hundreds of thousands of them in my life.

I can only imagine.

Hmmm... I haven't been to Six Flags (s'wut we got around here) in over a decade.

Dude, you discgolf? Me too. I don't have a bag though. I don't think I want one either. Too much walking to be carrying stuff as well. So, I just keep the one disc with me. These days I throw a wraith. What's your disc situation like?

I've had, and lost, quite a few, but now days I'm a Valkyrie man. I do have a new Blizzard Wraith that I've been getting 50-70 ft more on my drives though. Still waiting for them to come out with the Blizzard Valk. I'll be unstoppable (unless I play against Ken Climo).

I've got a Valkyrie, but it's a bitch to keep it from going way too far to the right. If it's a long enough place to throw, it comes right back around to the left, but I still can't keep it accurate. And since my home course is sick with trees, and it's right on the edge of a marsh (you even have two holes where you have to throw right over a good distance of marsh), it's not really a good disc to use.

Don't ever work in a bar.

It's funny though, I'm a bit of an inconsiderate hypocrite when it comes to butts. I flick them out of habit without thinking yet I absolutely hate cleaning them at work... Just realised that.
