When burying litter, what must the earth not look like?

• A. It must not look disturbed
• B. It must look disturbed
• C. It should be painted
• D. It should be moved

Answer: (A)

When burying litter, the surface should blend with the surrounding ground and not show any signs that digging occurred. The earth must not look disturbed because leaving a natural, undisturbed surface helps conceal the act and avoids drawing attention or indicating that something was buried. If the surface appears dug, mounded, or freshly moved, it gives away the fact that litter was hidden, which defeats the purpose of proper disposal and camouflage. After burying, level and compact the soil to match the surrounding terrain so there’s nothing to indicate alteration. Painting the ground or moving soil for effect would also draw attention and isn’t appropriate.
