Japanese people do that as trash bins are very rare. It is an education issue and not the lack/full of trash binsy
Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA?

Personally, if I see a full trash can I will keep my trash with me until I can find a place to dispose of it. I can’t imagine just throwing it on the ground d regardless of the can situation.

Same. And sometimes if it’s convenient, I’ll keep my recyclables like paper, cans, and glass until I have access to a sink to clean then (glass, maybe cans) and can toss them in my recycling system at home.
Fyi, make sure your recyclables are dry before dropping them off/having them picked up

I would pull the top of all of these (without breaking it) and make all the trash fit, or, if absolutely required, carry it as you say

Don’t. You will catch a needle doing that and get hepatitis.

I’ve had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.
And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I’m taking it with me because I didn’t succeed in throwing it away.
Shrugging ans saying “well I tried” as you walk away isn’t even trying.
