Garbate and trash are virtually interchangeable. Rubbish is also the same as garbage and trash but is less commonly used in the US. Litter refers to garbage and trash thrown/left on the floor. A cat litter (or any sort of animal litter) is the designated material on which a cat urinates or defecates.

I thought garbage was mostly organic, and trash was something recycable or that dust that you sweep from the floor. No?

@Helen_Sky: Umm... The simple answer is no. Garbage can refer to any unwanted/undesirable, useless material that one wishes to dispose of (some people keep trash, and sometimes one man's trash is another one's riches). Trash is just a synonym for that, they both are used interchangeably. The only notable difference is garbage has a higher register and appears more formal. Some garbage and trash can be recyclable, but it depends on the material. Recyclings can be considered as trash or garbage, but they have some value in being recycled. And dust is just dust.
