Litter is small debris and trash scattered about. It can be located in urban or rural areas, but usually refers to waste scattered along roadsides. The act of littering is considered a fineable offense in many areas. Some jurisdictions offer small bounties for the cleaning of litter (for example, requiring people to pay a deposit on bottles, which is only returned when the bottles are returned).

A litter is also the term used to describe the delivery of young for many mammals, such as dogs and cats.

A litter is also a chair mounted on a platform and designed to be carried from place to place (holding its occupant) under human power.
