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.

To help understand public messiness and how $$ and culture affects such things, just take a look at the various supermarket parking lots. Like the Walmart parking lot Vs a Trader Joe's or an Aldi's :)

Aldi's tend to be pristine, at least locally, even in public housing neighborhoods. Walmart tends to be a leave your mess and your shopping cart anywhere you want to place, even in upscale neighborhoods.
