RE: COVID-19 litter destroys Animal life ... 3 million masks are used every minute

Thanks for the post, definitely another side effect of this pandemic that can't be ignored. I do have a probably dumb question (I have plenty of those...): this garbage that ends up hurting or even killing animals, is it only due to people not disposing of it properly, or can it also be caused by overflowing landfills for instance, even when it's disposed of the way it's supposed to be?
