I wouldn't call someone trash unless I knew them pretty well and could say so from experience.

When I see a homeless person wearing dirty clothes and pushing a cart full of other people's cast-offs I don't consider them trash at all; I just think I'm fortunate for all the breaks and helping hands I've gotten myself. Not everyone is so lucky.
