How could I translate 'spread the trash with a shovel' ? Is it an expression meaning 'to take the trash out to a garbage can' or people really spread their trash, letting things dirtier?

Without further context, this might mean a situation where there's a pile of trash ("trash" could mean a number of things, for example: garden cuttings, mine tailings, log trimmings, etc.) on the ground, and it is then spread out, using a shovel, so that it covers the ground in a thin layer.
