Trash in street photography (and landscapes) is a problem.  I hate the far too obvious bright plastic bag lying on the lawn or the newspaper pages spread along steets and sidewalks.  A sighn of the times, I guess.

But in your photo, the trash doesn't really distract.  Maybe due to the subdued color.  Were it bright blue, it would stand out like a sore thumb.

Next time, do both.
Yes, that is the take-away. Not be influenced to hurry by who I am walking with.

Hi Todd, Whether or not the trash matters depends on what you want the picture to say. Ambiguity in street shots usually is a plus, but there's so much ambiguity here that I'm not sure what that shot's significance is. Technically it's good work but I don't get it.
