What are the sources of litter?
There are seven primary sources of litter:
1. Pedestrians who do not use receptacles.
2. Motorists who do not use car ashtrays or litterbags.
3. Business dumpsters that are improperly covered.
4. Loading docks with inadequate waste receptacles.
5. Construction and demolition sites without tarps and
receptacles to contain debris and waste.
6. Trucks with uncovered loads.
7. Household trash scattered before or during collection.
