no littering

Keep grounds clean

No littering is a prohibition against discarding trash in public spaces, typically seen on signs in parks, beaches, and roadsides.

The phrase functions as a command: The sign said no littering, but cigarette butts littered the sidewalk anyway.

Littering usually carries fines, making these signs both requests and warnings.
