Here is how I would interpret it:
1.  I remove trash, typically on a Monday (but possibly on other days)
2.  I typically remove trash on a Monday (that is, that is my usual
activity on a Monday, in contrast to other activities)
3.  I remove typical trash (trash from a typical source??) on Monday.
4.  I remove the trash on a Monday of a typical (time period?  month/year?).
5.  I remove the typical type of trash on a Monday.
6.  I remove the trash on a typical Monday.
