8	!!''Trash Talk'' provides instances of:
9
10	* AnimalMotif: Mr. Mudo, one of the teachers in the school, who doubles as a disgruntled security guard, is compared in-series to a rabid police German Shepherd.
11	* CrapsackWorld: Most of the setting takes place in a man-made national-scale landfill, known as [[ExactlyWhatitSaysOnTheTin Landfill]], which also doubles as an inhabited city. A bit of an InvertedTrope, as the residents don't typically resent their current state, having lived there for so long.
12	* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: An aesthetic of the author, as the characters tend to have detailed dark bags below their eyes. Well, considering their [[CrapsackWorld environment and conditions]], it might be justified.
13	* GreenAesop: The comic gratuitously showcases the effect and destruction of mindless industrialization, littering, and the like. The teenage protagonists are a bit unstable, but they all wish to do what they can to make their zones a safer, cleaner place for all to inhabit.
14	* ImprovisedWeapon: Milan initially, with her [[BroomstickQuarterstaff broom of justice]] and [[ShearMenace precision scissor throwing]]. But the show-stealer is Janus, with his arsenal of [[MolotovCocktail Molotov soda cans]], and his signature [[ShovelStrike custom, extendable, foldable utility Crovel]].
15	* InSeriesNickname: Janus's preferred nickname for [[BoyishShortHair Milan]] is "Short-hair".
16	* LargeHam: [[NoIndoorVoice Mudo]]. Anyone also applies, due to the dialog-heavy nature of the comic. Someone is bound to eat 5 panels just to speak or lament about their views and ideals.
17	* MessyHair: Milan's hair looks like a bird nesting, and Janus's looks like a dry ragged mop.
18	* OnlySaneMan: Mr. Gen. He expresses his distaste in dealing with troublesome high-school students with a janitor-complex.
19	* PintSizedPowerHouse: Milan. She's 158 cm tall, and certainly not heavy, but can subdue opponents (and allies) that literally tower over her with perfect-precision punches, mastery of improvised weaponry, and shift of balance.
20	* PointlessBandAid: Janus sports one on the bridge of his nose in every panel he appears in. The detail ranges from brand-new to worn-out.
21	* PungeonMaster: The author goes the extra mile to include any garbage/trash/dirt-related pun whenever it's applicable.
22	* SecondYearProtagonist: Milan is in her 2nd year of high-school. Evident by the various class labels on her equipment, and how she refers to Janus, a 3rd year, as "kak [[note]]Indonesian, usually used by those younger to refer to those older.[[/note]].
