This is very common question but I think can come out with all sorts of answers. When we are outside,mostly we can find rubbish bins all over the areas. But what if one day you want to throw rubbish but you can't find a rubbish bin,what would you do? Will you keep the rubbish first or you simply throw on the floor or somewhere else? If I face this thing, I think I will just wrap up the rubbish and throw later. Mostly,when we are outside,the rubbish can be just food wrappings or tissue papers. I think is possible for us to keep them first and throw later. What do you think? Please share your comments.

You've got some interesting stuff here today! Well where I live
not only do you have to throw away trash in a proper bin, (you
must separate plastic & glass them paper & other trash or you
will be fined! Yes, we will be punished for throwing away garbage
improperly. We must recycle here in the United States. God help
you if you throw something on the ground!!! You don't even want
to know the punishment for that!!!!

I always keep my garbage until I can find a trash bin or compost bin or recycle bin. When I was out delivering catalogues I would eat an apple on the way. When I wasn't in my car I would carry the core with me until I came to a house that had a compost bin nearby and I would put it in their compost bin. If not I would bring it back to my vehicle, put it in my little trash bin there and when I got home I would put it in my recycle bin. I would never throw trash on the ground, not even compostible items.
Around the convenience stores in our town there is a lot of waste on the ground, even though there are trash bins outside the stores. These are the kids that are too lazy to put things in the bins. Or sometimes I think they think they are being cool or rebellious by just dropping it on the ground. I would pick stuff up and put it in the garbage if it was one or two items. If the whole area was littered I would be wondering why the store hasn't sent an employee out to clean it up. Litter is ugly and disgraceful.

I keep my rubbish is it not biodegradable. I usually keep it in my pocket or in my bag. I don't like to throw non-biodegradable things. Its a bad practice and it litters the place around. I also keep biodegradable trash when its bigger than a square inch.
