Do not litter / do not throw garbage

Hi,

Are the sentences natural?
Do not litter.
Do not throw garbage.

Are they the same in meaning?

Thanks

You do not have to throw your garbage to litter. You can simply leave it in place. But essentially, they are the same in meaning.

In many dialects, "garbage" means only food waste, the rest being "trash".

You could also, by the way, just say "No littering!"

Hi,

Personally, I never quite know the difference in terms of garbage, rubbish and trash.

Even 'litter', except that it implies a flaw in the character of the one who litters.

Paper, wrappers, cans, bottles, cups, etc. Anything that SHOULD be disposed of in a trash or recyling can but is left behind.
