Littering and litter can be harmful to people in many ways,Litter is dangerous if not placed in the correct waste receptacle to be recycled. Broken glass bottles on roadways can cause a driver to loose control of the vehicle if pieces of the bottle is caught unto the tires, an accident can occur and people can get hurt seriously.

The second most reason how litter can harm people is, if used needles are not disposed or incinerated and the correct way, waste handlers during garbage collection can get stuck by these used needles and may become ill or infected due to viruses and blood borne diseases, such as malaria, HIV virus and hepatitis so storing those used needles in sturdy disposable units and not having them to become a part of a litter campaign. So litter can cause harm to people in ways with out a proper disposal.
