Litter

Most public places and tourist attractions have waste bins for litter.

Nova Scotia has a recycling program. Often, special containers are provided for material which can be recycled such as drinks cans and bottles. 

You must not throw litter on the street, in parks or other public places, from your vehicle, or in the sea, lakes or rivers.  If you are on a walking trail or other place where there are no garbage containers, you should take your litter with you.

You can be fined for littering.
