litterer
Public space polluter
A litterer is someone who discards trash in public spaces rather than disposing of it properly.
The term carries moral judgment—litterers are seen as inconsiderate or irresponsible: The park ranger caught a litterer tossing food wrappers on the trail.
Signs warning of fines target potential litterers.
