What is considered litter?

[RolliePollie]

I would personally consider these types of items litter. Now if you found a compost pile to throw them on, that would be great. But sometimes a place that you think it's ok to throw these things is really not ok to the property owner. I used to live on a large piece of rural property and we got very tired of finding banana peels and other discarded food items constantly thrown onto our property. I'm sure people viewed it as wild natural land, but we considered it our yard. It attracted racoons and skunks, it stunk, and items with seeds would sometimes sprout the next spring. Plus you'd be surprised how long it actually takes this stuff break down and disappear. We would end up going out and cleaning it up ourselves, which was really maddening and really gross.

I don't mean to attack you, but because of my own experience with people throwing this type of stuff on my property, it's kind of a pet peeve of mine. I would just wait til you get to a garbage can or throw it on your compost pile at home.

Me, too. Cleaning up along our rural fence line was a disgusting job.
