Litter is one of our major environmental problems. Litter and littering includes:
- Anything left where it's not meant to be.
- Rubbish and furniture put on roadsides or outside shops (including charity shops).
- Building materials outside of a construction site.
- Rubbish thrown from motor vehicles.
- Cigarette butts.
- Putting household or business rubbish in a public litter bin.
- Advertising material placed under windscreen wipers.
For more information see EPA Victoria.
