Littered isn't necessarily a pejorative term. You could litter a bed with rose petals, or find your path littered with gold coins.

It's not necessarily like saying 'trashed'.

Definitely, it isn't necessarily a pejorative term. In this case however, given the context, I believe it's used as such...
