Morphology
trash + pickup
The noun 'trash pickup' is compositionally derived from 'trash' (rubbish) + 'pickup' (the act of picking up/collection), so its meaning 'collection and removal of garbage' is directly inferable from the parts. This compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (noun + event) and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings.
Etymology
Trash pickup comes from the simple image of a truck stopping to pick up people's trash at the curb. So, it means the regular service that takes your trash away.
