Mission accomplished - he 'took out' the trash...

What about this story suggests the man is "trash"?

That he was stupid enough to think he needed to carry a gun taking out the trash...

Some people don't live in great neighborhoods. ¯\(°_o)/¯ It could've been one of those things where he's taking out the trash and then hopping in the car going about his day.

That his gun fired after he slipped. It indicates that he didn't respect the firearm enough to holster it appropriately. If you're going to carry a gun, and not treat it with the respect it deserves, and to respect those around you by doing so -- you're trash.
