"I Love Trash" is a song sung by the Muppet character Oscar the Grouch (performed by Caroll Spinney) on Sesame Street. The song was first sung in the first season of the series and has been re-taped several times.

In a Season 29 episode, Oscar sang "Grouches Love Trash" a variation of this song to his niece Irvine. In episode 3891, his old friend Felix the Grouch sang a variation called "I Love Cleaning" while Oscar sang "I Love Trash". Yet another variation occurs when Oscar's Trash Can was grown to a larger size and the lyrics were adjusted to accommodate (a clip can be seen in Sesame Street All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever!).

Oscar sang this song in Here Come the Puppets!, accompanied by Bruno the Trashman on rollerskates. Oscar also sang the song during an appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show. On September 26, 2013, Oscar and Big Bird sang this song on The Colbert Report.

K.d. lang sang this song when she guest starred in The Jim Henson Hour episode about Garbage.

Grover, Telly and Zoe each sing a verse of the song (with changed lyrics to suit their interests) in the CD-ROM game, The Three Grouchketeers.

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler recorded a new version for the album release of Elmopalooza.

A brief portion of the song was also sung by a group of socks in Sesame Street 4-D Movie Magic, during Oscar's imagination sequence where Sesame Street is turned into a vast garbage dump.

On Plaza Sésamo, a Multimonstruo, who loves trash, performed a rock version of this song.
