What do you with the trash after you pick it up? The kind of underdeveloped countries with piles of trash sitting around also have no functional municipal garbage collection, at least in those areas with piles of trash sitting around.
Yes I believe this is the main reason for not picking it up, and for it lying around in the first place. However if there is a way to profit from it, that could mean the private sector can turn things around.

Even just burying it, burning it or keeping it in a single pile would seem better than having it lying all over the place.
