Victoria, Australia ...

http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/en/get-involved/report-litter
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/v...ct/epa1970284/ (Section 45)

And according to this document ...
http://epa.tas.gov.au/Documents/Litt...ions_Paper.pdf

In Victorian statutes, litter is defined as “any solid or liquid domestic or commercial waste, refuse, debris or rubbish and, without limiting the generality of the above, includes any waste glass, metal, plastic, paper, fabric, wood, food, soil, sand, concrete or rocks, abandoned vehicles, abandoned vehicle parts and garden remnants and clippings, but does not include any gases, dust or smoke or any waste that is produced or emitted during, or as a result of, any of the normal operations of the mining, building or manufacturing industry or of any primary industry”. Of note is that food, garden waste, soil and rocks are included as litter, as they have the potential to cause a visual impact and to cause the spread of weeds.
