What constitutes littering under the law?

Littering under the law is defined as the act of leaving or disposing of waste materials in public or private areas without permission. This action is unlawful because it contributes to environmental pollution and can pose health risks to the community. When a person leaves litter knowingly, they are aware of their actions and the potential harm they can cause, making it a deliberate violation of regulations regarding waste disposal.

The other options do not align with the legal definition of littering. Leaving trash with consent would not constitute littering, as it implies permission to dispose of waste. Cleaning up public areas and organizing community clean-up events are proactive efforts that contribute to maintaining a clean environment and do not involve illegal disposal of waste.
