My solution is to pay them to pick up trash. Those that do are housed for free.

That'd work great until someone realizes there's all these bins of precollected trash all over the place. Perverse incentives.

Assign an area to each person and that person has to ensure it stays clean. Don't pay by the pound of trash collected, pay by the area kept clean.
