When is litter disposal considered illegal?

Litter disposal is considered illegal within a specific distance from public highways and properties as it poses a safety hazard and environmental concern. The 300-foot regulation is designed to keep roadways clear of debris that could obstruct traffic or create hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians. This distance helps maintain a clean, safe environment, preventing litter from potentially blowing back onto the road or attracting wildlife, which could lead to further accidents. Littering in such proximity is actively regulated to promote public health and safety while fostering community pride in maintaining clean and appealing surroundings.
