Is it okay to throw away biodegradable items, like apple cores and banana peels?
A. No one likes hiking a trail littered with other people’s trash. While items like apple cores and banana peels will eventually biodegrade, food leftovers of any kind diminish the outdoor experience for the hikers behind you as well as habituate the animals to human “leftovers.” We recommend you carry out whatever you carry in and dispose of it properly elsewhere.
