Litter and Litters?

[hugsandkisses]

litter
litters??? (I don't think that makes sense...)
garbage
garbages???

Put in a sentence:

There are some litters out there.

There are garbages everywhere.

[Brian Boyd]

Litter is an uncountable noun, so it is always singular:

There's too much litter.

Look at all this litter. Someone should pick it up.

Does your city have a lot of litter?

EXCEPT:

When you use litter in a different meaning, such as a litter of kittens (when a cat has babies).

My cat is five years old and she has had three litters. (litters of kittens are countable)

I agree with Mr. Brain Boyd. However, if litter, as a verb, is used with third person singlers, i.e. he, she or it, it takes 's'. For instance "I never litter. But my child litters a lot."Raveendra
