> perhaps HOAs for wealthy communities

I doubt wealthy HOA communities have much random trash to pick up in the first place

They don’t because they hire people to pick it up

Hmm never seen that in a residential neighborhood, is that a thing? Typically there is not a trash problem simply because the residents are careful enough. Trash doesn't just appear out of nowhere

Landscapers tend to suck up trash while gathering leaves and such. So it's not as obvious as a dedicated trash pick up crew.

But yes, it does also help that a richer community correlates with more care about littering to begin with.
