I don't think anyone else in these comments mentioned this, but if you hate the trash that much OP, you can literally just get rid of it in the game selection screen.
So, you select your save file, click "reset slot" (doesn't actually reset your slot right away) and it brings up a menu of things you can select to reset. Just check the "clean dirt & trash" box and then apply. Almost all of the trash and dirt on your base will be gone (the setting isn't perfect and misses a dirt stain and trash pile here and here). You'll still need to pick up all of the individual pieces of trash, such as the soda cans and papers, but I recommend taking those over to the workbench in the garage and just piling them on top until you can craft something. Most things need "scrap" to craft, and that's exactly how you do it.
Although the game is in pre-alpha, there's TONS to do and explore, and I recommend taking your time with the game. Things will get easier the more points you earn, and you can even gain an assistant if you really don't want to get the hash codes yourself (I really recommend getting some scrap crafted for your assistant). The game has come a long way, I mean before there wasn't even gravel paths, so it was easier to get lost!
And, if you're really that impatient with things and want to have an easier time collecting signals and not having to worry too much about other things, you can always edit your save file and cheat yourself some points. That way you can get the assistant within the first couple of in-game days, and even upgrade everything so things break down less often.
