Maybe it's indifference to littering.

I am all about recycling. When I find trash where I park so as to go to a retailer, I take one of the plastic grocer bags I keep in my car for just such an occasion, use it as a glove and pick up that which is near my car.
The way I see it, that's God's way of giving me an opportunity to be a good steward of my home.
My huge pet peeves, people who throw nasty diapers onto parking lots. No, I don't get near those. There are companies here that are paid to drive around and clean up garbage, so that's their domain.
The other one, plastic six pack holders. Those I pick up and tear apart and recycle. I saw a picture once of a seal that had gotten one of those around their neck when they were a pup, presumably, because the picture showed that little one matured and that dreaded six pack holder now grown into the flesh on his/her neck.
That made me sick, almost literally. I prayed that whoever snapped the shot also saved the seal from that abuse.
Boaters! They party on the water and then use the ocean, sea, or bay, as their trashcan. (That's pertaining to those who do that. Not saying all boaters are like that. We're boaters and would never. We have a hook on our boat and we pick up trash when on the water too.
The planet is our home. When we woudn't dispose of garbage on our own floor, why do we do so on the ground or on the water?
Makes no sense.
One day my congregation invited members of another congregation to join us in worship. Before services began, a visitor from the other congregation changed her baby’s poopy diaper.
She sat on the couch in our family room and upon finishing the task at hand, looked around but didn’t see the garbage can right in front of her. She proceeded to place the poopy diaper on the headrest of the couch and walked away.
On a side note, I cut up six pack plastic holders. It takes a little time but we’ll worth it.
Rats... I saw the thread title and thought this was a thread for unanswerable questions in general. I got all excited, because I have a few.
Yes, the person is guilty by complicity at least. Acknowledging, especially to the point of picking it up, followed by putting it back, demonstrates ownership of said littering.
You asked for it...
If you're running a vacuum cleaner, and it chews up its own power cord and dies, is that suicide because the vacuum killed itself? Or is it homicide because you were pushing it? Or is it assisted suicide because you were the one moving the vacuum and it was the one chewing up the cord?
If you get scared half to death, then get scared half to death again, does that mean you are scared all the way to death? Or is the second scare only half of the remaining half, leaving you three quarters scared to death?

They say practice makes perfect, but they also say nobody is perfect... so doesn't that mean practice is futile?
Who are "they" anyway and why do they keep saying all these things?
Also who is that fifth dentist? Four out of five agree that a product is good, but that fifth dentist never likes anything. What a grouch!

I cut them up too.
No one said anything to that woman? They just let her leave that diaper there?
No one said anything. I picked up the diaper and threw it away.

Good for you. I'd have done the same thing. Hard to fathom she even thought that was what to do with the diaper in the first place. Would she do that in her own home? I would doubt it.
Yeah, I know that it was but that is my usual line when I say I will include a word in my vernacular. Vehicular refers to various forms of powered transportation. In my way of thinking it is amusing to say vehicular instead of the correct vernacular.
Who cares....God is going to burn it all one day soon anyway and then MAKE A NEW EARTH.....this one is going to hell in a hand basket anyway! 
Glad that others have gone through such quandaries lol.
I do not have an answer at this time. Almost always if I pick it up, I take the small responsibility of putting it "further" in the trash.
Obviously, this is but one small step in waste management and opens up a larger argument that I believe the purpose of this thread was not intended for
I do almost 100% of the time drop it if it has bugs on it with few qualms. I will say that it feels grody putting picked trash in my car as a "moving trash can" mostly due to lurking insects.
Getting a fine for this "relittering" would be rather lame though, I will admit. We kind of need a law enforcement officer to comment.
