Yes, but I don't think anyone there is complaining.
It was mostly component parts of the lunar landing modules.
The base of the lunar landing module served as a launching pad when the vessel lifted off for return to Earth.
Since weight is such a factor in space travel, it only made sense to leave behind unnecessary components.
The shock -absorbing components needed to safely touch down on the moon would be unnecessary when splashing down in our oceans. additionally, they would be a problem when reentering earth's atmosphere. They would interfere with the aerodynamics of the reentry module and heat shield, plus, they would just burn up.

It's not trash -- all the remnants are a scientific experiment in the durability of human-made objects to the rigors of space.

not really like trash, they didnt leave chip bags n soda cans, but stuff was left as far a parts but i think it counts more as debris. we leave far more stuff just floatin around after we r done with it in space, so its worse the stuff just left to float.

If you call a multimillion dollar SUV "trash" then Yes.

Mostly beer cans, junk cars and travel trailer parts. It will be a sprawling trailer park one day. Just like Earth

It's okay; the inhabitants said they didn't mind.
