There does not appear to be a scientific term to describe the fear of garbage. Perhaps the fear stems from a fear of what might happen if trash is not disposed of properly. This could mean a possible insect infestation, strong negative odors, or the perception that others wll ridicule or judge you harshly because of it. Bacteria growth on exposed garbage could also lead to illness.

Entomophobia is the fear of insects.

Olfactophobia or Osmophobia is the fear of smells or odors.

Bacteriophobia is the fear of bacteria

Nosophobia is the fear of becoming ill.

Verminophobia is the fear of germs.

Catagelophobia is the fear of being ridiculed.

If your fear begins to negatively affect the quality of your life, or your happiness, then please consult with a doctor to help you to address your fear.
