Introduction: Did you know that 17% of our waste that is thrown in the streets stays there forever? This might be very surprising to read especially when there are quite a number of bins and skips around us. The term litter refers to any kind of trash thrown in small amounts, especially in places where it doesn’t belong and by time this piles up. The most common littered items includes fast food packaging, cigarette butts, used drink bottles, chewing gum wrappers, broken electrical equipment parts, toys, broken glass, food scraps or green wastes.

The word littering means throwing and leaving objects lying on the ground instead of disposing them in the appropriate bins. According to a study by the Dutch organisation VRUM, 80% of people claim that “everybody leaves a piece of paper, tin or something, on the streets behind.”
