I left my litter on the hiking trail
You shouldn't leave your trash behind on the trail where people can trip and hurt themselves.
There are no waste baskets along the way.
It does not matter if there were trash cans or not. It is unacceptable to leave litter on the trail. It can hurt people, the animals and the environment. Next time, just carry it until you find a trash can.
It's not a big deal. Not alot of people hike that trail anyway.
Leaving your trash in the woods defiles the beauty of nature and spoils things for the other hikers around. Pick up your trash along with any extra trash you find so that you make the place a little nicer than you left it.
