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.

Keeping the streets neat and tidy isn't on top of their list - they need to find shelter / blankets /food - then they can go around the streets with a swiffer and air freshner to make the streets purdy.
