Is tossing a banana peel littering?

Yes but only for a few days

It causes global warming bro

No. It's compost.

In to grass or bushes, no. On to streets, sidewalks, or parking lots, no.

Biodegradable stuff feeds the environment

We had a mock trial about this in one of my merit badge classes.

In a public place? Then hell yes it is. Go ahead and throw a half eaten watermelon beside it while your at it. Same thing right?

Not sure if it is the same across all states, but I'm finding a few articles that suggest it is littering. Basically anything thrown/left behind in a place other than a receptacle can be considered littering.

To play the devils advocate, one article discusses a banana peel thrown on the side of the interstate. The peel will attract insects, which can then attract rodents, which may attract larger predators, thereby causing a safety hazard for other drivers.

As ridiculous as it may seem, why not simply dispose of your waste properly?

I often stick my banana through the bush

No really but look at it this way

One banana peel is not a big thing. If there were 50 of them in the same place, it would be considered garbage more than likely.

Thus, it actually is littering in that way
