Butterflies do not lay eggs directly on mint plants. They typically prefer to lay their eggs on specific host plants that caterpillars will feed on once they hatch. However, butterflies may still visit mint plants for nectar and as a food source.
You can attract butterflies by planting the plants they lay their eggs on (host plants) and flowering plants (nectar plants) for butterflies that are normally found in your area of the world. If you search the internet for 'butterfly host plants' you will be led to sites that give more specific information.

Most butterflies don't lay their eggs in garbage. They typically lay their eggs on the plant that their caterpillars will feed on. Monarchs butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed plants. Spicebush swallowtails butterflies lay their eggs on Spicebush, Sassafras, Sweet Bay, and Prickly Ash. You get the idea. I don't know of any butterflies that lay their eggs in garbage, but if they do it is probably the type of garbage that their caterpillars would feed on.
Most butterflies lay their eggs on plants: on the top or bottom of leaves, on the flowers, on twigs, in the chinks of bark, or on the plant stalk. Some butterflies lay their eggs near the plant: on dry grass stems, dead leaves, or on soil. By laying their eggs on or near plants, the newly hatched caterpillars will have something to eat.
Not intentionally... Butterflies normally lay eggs on or around their host plants, and no butterfly larve feeds on clothing. I'm sure it would be possible for a butterfly to drop an egg or two on clothing, but that would not be a normal occurrence.
