  While I like the idea of enabling the homeless to make money, I wouldn't focus the project entirely on the homeless. What about teens, starving actors, and people who have a little time on their hands and need to make some money.
  
  This is probably too high-tech for trash, but it could be a good RFID application.

  How would you guard against fraud? I like your idea, but I would think there has to be more oversight. What would stop someone from emptying a bag waiting to be picked up into their bag and then scanning it? What if a person walks the streets for hours, but doesn't find enough trash to fill a bag? Why not have street teams that do clean sweeps instead? More basic, but maybe more effective.
  
  I do think you're on to something. I would check out www.projecthome.org for some more inspiration. They have many innovative programs that simultaneously help homeless people and communities.
  
  You should also add some tags and a picture to your idea. It will help it get noticed. Good luck.
