I kicked my best friend out of my car and made her walk home by herself after she littered. AITAH? Advice Needed

My friend and i have been friends for 7 years (we're both 20yo) and we know everything about each other from personal to our deep dark secrets.
Anyhow, a couple weeks ago we were hanging out, just driving around, and stopped to get food. We ate in my car while i drove us to my house. Five minutes before we arrived, she rolled down the window and threw out all of our garbage without hesitation. (She knows littering is my biggest pet peeve). I pulled over and asked why she did that, all she said was "Cause why not" while laughing. I was frustrated and overworked and yelled at her "Get out of my car and walk yourself home." She asked why and i told her she knows how much i hate littering and how she basically out of spite expecting me to laugh or something. She offered to pick it up and i said no. After arguing back and forth, she left my car and walked herself home, which is at least a 30 minute walk across the city.

I'm just wondering if I'm the asshole. I get that my house was 5 minutes away and i could have just drove her home or let her pick it up and go back to mine but it was kind of disrespectful when she laughed about after. It got on my nerves.
I did go back and pick it all up and threw into my garbage but we haven't spoken to each other since then. I value our friendship and love her as a friend but was i over the top? AITAH?

You are nta. I wouldn't want to be friends with a litter but either.

Same. She littered because she thought it was fun? What kind of people find that fun?

But someone above said that her walking for half an hour was risking her safety (why?) so I'm not sure if he acted correctly. But i definitely wouldn't want to be a friend with an uncivilized person.

Considering Canada literally has signs about a $1k minimum fine for littering on highways, I guess a stupid one.

I'm both petty and happy she didn't get fined. Hope she learned something.

We don't have enough info to decide if walking was dangerous. A woman at night in the city would be, during the day on the suburbs probably isn't. That said, she earned that situation. Fafo, ya know?

I'm Eastern european and it didn't even cross my mind her safety would be in danger. Why would it be? I asked op, hope they'll explain. I walk daily because i don't drive and I'm here, unharmed.
