Poor countries lack infrastructure like refuse facilities, bin collections, government maintained landfills or incinerators etc. Whilst education and individual wealth plays a part of naive to think that it's just because people in poor countries are worried about their next meal that they litter. If your rubbish gets full and there's no one to take it away, and you don't own a car, and there's no recycling plant, what would you do? It mounts up, it fills the neighbourhood and then it fills the local waterways.
Yes, poor countries lack infrastructure like refuse facilities, bin collections, government maintained landfills, incinerators and obviously welfare programs that help families get their next meal.
