@TooFriendly112,
Frankly, I would be more worried by your apparent tendency to study trash you find on the street. It's quite unsanitary and rather disturbing as well.
As for my other advice: you might want to solicit for a job as a trash collector. From the sounds of it, there are some job openings there: and it will give you a chance to personally oversee the trash removal from your own living environment, so I'd say it's a win-win scenario.
