Agreed that in many contexts, trash and garbage are used interchangeably.
In some contexts, however, it makes a difference. For example, in the management of an office building or shopping center, differing disposal procedures may be used, if only because it's particularly important to get remove biodegradable "garbage" quickly.
In that context at least, practitioners are careful to use trash and garbage as distinct terms.
