It seems to be increasing each year that passes by, especially in cities. The more immigrants in the area, the more junk. Older generations from the countryside have their own hidden illegal junkyards in the woods, from the era when there was no proper recycling & proper junkyards.
Here in Helsinki people seem to throw junk just anywhere, junkies also have their own spots where they seem to gather and just leave needles and other belongings for others to be found.
As said earlier, cigarettes and bubblegums is everywhere, people just throw them on the ground. Disgusting. People that litter should be lined up and shot tbh.
t. never litters, I always take my trash to the correct location.
