Seeing this a lot recently referencing westerners.

Liang'an gives literal definitions:
https://www.moedict.tw/~%E6%B4%8B%E5%9E%83%E5%9C%BE
1, 指來自外國的二手物或廢棄物。
· 例 「洋垃圾服裝」、「洋垃圾再生利用」。
2, 特指以走私方式入境的境外固體廢棄物。
· 例 「政府嚴加查辦走私行為,杜絕洋垃圾造成環境問題」

Editor: Thanks for your comment.
Yes, I realized that my proposal would be better if I could make it less wordy.
I've now tried to do so, as follows:

/trash or used goods exported or smuggled from Western countries/the dregs of society of Western countries (esp. those who turn up in China)/ -->
/trash or used goods from Western countries/the dregs of society of Western countries/

Feel free to follow up if you think the def needs further work.
Diff:
# 洋垃圾 洋垃圾 [yang2 la1 ji1] /(lit./fig.) western trash (Tw. pr. yang2 le4 se4)/
+ 洋垃圾 洋垃圾 [yang2 la1 ji1] /trash or used goods from Western countries/the dregs of society of Western countries/Taiwan pr. [yang2 le4 se4]/
