Abstract: A receiving arrangement, typically mounted within a vehicle, adapted to receive and transmit smoking residues, as cigarettes or cigar ashes and/or butts, from within the passenger compartment to a storage receptacle disposed within the engine compartment. Exhaust means, associated with the storage receptacle, draws the refuse from the passenger compartment receiving area. A water supply at the bottom of the storage receptacle serves to receive heavier-than-air particles and, further, flame extinguishing purposes. Exit vents or areas in the storage receptacle permit passage of unwanted smoke (and airborne ash) from the smoking articles placed on the receiving container in the passenger compartment during use.
