Abstract

Nowadays, Litter is a worldwide problem. Every country expends a large amount of money to clean up litter. The USA expended almost 11 billion dollars annually. Litter is an environmental problem which not only responsible for air, water, and soil pollution but also produces harmful effects on humans, animals, plants, and the risk of fire hazards, endangering. Litter is big a problem also in India. Annual waste generation is almost 62 million tons in India, only 43 million tons collected by the different Govt. & private bodies. It is clear that almost 19-million-ton waste remains in the form of litter so our study focused on identifying the nature and source of litter and on solving this problem. We did a survey to identify nature, source, and public attitudes towards litter. We did 2 types of litter surveys in the Satkaar market, Jaipur (Rajasthan). In the first survey, we collected litter material from three streets of the Satkaar market then took it to the lab for analysis. Firstly we categorized litter into seven categories plastic, paper and cardboard, composite material, glass item, metallic items, food and vegetable waste, and other category waste (foam, rubber, cigarette butts, flower and garland, cloths, bird feather). we found that most littering items ids plastic (almost 40% of total % weight of litter ), average recyclable litter is 34.66 % and biodegradable litter is about 43%.in the second survey I made a set of 23 questions to know the attitude and behavior of public towards litter. We found in this survey that most people think that litter is a crime, both administration, and the public are responsible for litter when the educational level increased then the habit of littering is reduced.
