: to pre prevod za "fill with rubbish / burry under the rubbish " // "a littered entrance" = nešto je "razbacano / posejano svugde okolo" pre ulazom u količinama dovoljnim da proizvedu nered, ali ulaz nije zatrpan niti napunjen.

: ako je u pitanju napušteni rudnik, može da bude i gomila zarđale gvožđurije razbacana pred ulazom u rudnik

Ako je napusteni rudnik blizu neke diskoteke, moze biti i gomila opušaka i flaša, istina. Ali u postavci pitanja stoji da je termin u značenju vezan sa šumom i organsko materijom

Discussion
You ask for a translation of "litter" and give one of the possible meanings of litter as a noun, but then you say the entrance of the mine was "littered" (a verb) which opens the possibility of some other meanings.
Do you know for sure from elsewhere in the ST that this entrance is surrounded by a forest?
