I have lived in a country that constantly thow garbage on the street, they (name of country not mentioned for a reason) treat the entire Earth as a BIG GARBAGE CAN (not to mentioned pissing anywhere, hope thats not enough a clue to give away what country it is  :)  ). But thankfully, I moved out on time and did not inherit that disgusting habit.

The reason for littering in London is there isn't many rubbish bins around.  When the IRA were all about putting bombs in bins, the government got rid of them all.  They have been coming back, but you could easily walk around for 20minutes and not see one.  However, they do have a lot of street cleaners there to sweep up the rubbish and take it away.  Most tube stations have no rubbish bins at all but instead have a littering point on the platform where people just chuck the rubbish on the ground.  To me it doesn't feel right doing it though.

I live on a main road and it always disgusts me how much trash people toss out of their cars.  When we moved in my roadside bushes were about 4' high and people would actually chuck their crap over the sidewalk and my bushes into my yard.  That takes intent and effort.  At first I thought it was just me being targeted but I asked the neighbors and they said the whole street gets it.  A couple of times I'd hear a bang on the side of the house to find that someone had chucked a beer bottle 25' from a moving car and off the side of my house.  I have to go out twice a week and pick up all the fast food trash, beer cans/bottles, coffee cups, cigarette packs, and occasionally have to get the rake out to snare a condom without touching it. 

Our bushes are now about 13' high and the trash doesn't make it over them anymore but I still have to pull it out of them since they fill up with trash after a while.
