Outdoor ashtrays offer several benefits, including reduced litter and fire hazards, improved cleanliness and safety. They typically are designed in a way that makes them withstand various weather conditions, and a secure lid to prevent ashes from being blown away. Outdoor ashtrays may also have a weighted base for stability and be made from recycled materials for added eco-friendliness. Durability, functionality, and style are key considerations when selecting an outdoor ashtray.
