What is litter?
Litter can be almost any material that is disposed of incorrectly. Litter includes cigarette butts and drink bottles dropped on the ground, fast food wrappers thrown out of the car window, poorly secured material from a trailer or grass clippings swept into the gutter. Litter can also be an abandoned vehicle or an abandoned part of a vehicle. However, litter does not include any gas, dust, smoke or material emitted or produced because of the normal operations of a building, manufacturing, mining or primary industry.
