Litter
Litter in public places is unsightly, is environmentally unfriendly, is in some cases dangerous and most notably is an offence. Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper to a bag full of rubbish.
The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 states that if a person drops, throws, deposits, or leaves anything that causes defacement in a public place they are committing a littering offence.
So always try to use a litter bin or take your litter home.
