An ashtray apparatus (200), including a boreholes panel (12) having multiple boreholes (15), each for extinguishing a lighted cigarette (13) by placing the cigarette therein, a pistons panel (24) having a plurality of pistons (16), each correspondingly with one of the boreholes (15), and a mating mechanism, for mating the pistons with the boreholes, thereby allowing removing cigarette ash and butts from the apparatus at once rather than pulling each of the cigarettes one by one.

A smoking device container, including a main body to store at least one smoking device therein, a base removably connected to at least a portion of a first end of the main body, a lid removably connected to at least a portion of a second end of the main body, the lid including a bottom portion, a top portion hingedly connected to at least a portion of the bottom portion to move from closed over the bottom portion in a first position to at least partially opened in a second position, and from opened in the second position to closed in the first position, and a smoke straw removably disposed on at least a portion of the bottom portion, and an air pump disposed on and within at least a portion of the base to draw air from outside the base to expel the air and smoke from the at least one smoking device through the main body and the smoke straw.

An ashtray comprising: a detecting module signally connected to a control module; an air intake module signally connected to the control module; a remnants removal module fluidically connected to the air intake module; and an air exhaust module fluidically connected to the remnants removal module. The ashtray is configured to be installed inter alia in a vehicle. Additional embodiments of the ashtray and its various functions are disclosed herein.

An ashtray device (1) for collecting cigarette or cigar ash and butts, the device comprising a separation mechanism (2) for separating the ash from the butts, and at least two containers (10, 11), wherein a first container (10) is positioned so as to receive the butts and a second container (11) is positioned so as to receive the ash.

An ecocompatible container for recycling cigarette butts is constituted by a cylinder including an openable upper cover, a base and an intermediate portion which houses a common hopper in external communication with ashtrays through which the cigarette butts are introduced, wherein via the hopper, the butts are introduced into a screening basket with balls, in which the rotation of the screening basket allows, by mutual impact and friction of the balls, crushing the cigarette butts and hence effectively separating the organic portion, i.e. the filter paper and the residual tobacco that fall by gravity through holes into an underlying suitable collection container, from the resistant, fibrous portion constituted only by the filters of the cigarettes which, when sucked by a small suction motor, will fall into an underlying filter accumulation chamber.
