‘Butt Lady of Auburn:' keeping her city clean one cigarette at a time...

Sally Dawly reached a major milestone this week. After nearly two years of her community service, the Auburn-native who proudly calls herself the "Butt Lady of Auburn" has picked up and thrown away over 500,000 cigarette butts.

Since October 2014, Dawly has taken it upon herself to clean up the streets of her town one cigarette butt at a time. Her mission has been simple:

"I love Auburn. I've been here for quite a while, and I just like seeing it clean," she said.

After noticing all the cigarette butts around the streets of Auburn, Dawly grabbed a dustpan and got to work. She spends hours each day picking up after people and she counts how many she picks up as she goes.

After 22 months of hard work she reached a milestone this week. The Butt Lady of Auburn said she has collected and thrown away half a million cigarette butts. More + video...
