Why are homeless people so messy? Is it really so hard to find a trash can?

I realize that people end up in bad situations, for any number of reasons, but why must there be piles of trash all around them? MOUNTAINS of trash.

I'd expect it to be more of an indicator for them - hey, nobody care enough about this space to pick up trash, if light stuff is building up, there it's probably not too bad for wind currents, and to some degree if you can just be quiet and still with all the other debris around someone may just mistake you for some of the trash that's in the area and elect not to hassle you.
