Given what happens a few characters in to the third line, I'm assuming the writer is just copying the characters from somewhere, which means the rest are actually pretty decent. 

Well, there's the thing.  You'd think that perhaps they didn't know what they were doing, but I actually took this photo in Japan, which made me even more confused by what happened a few characters into the third line (hence the photograph).  I was also a bit thrown by the 三点水 in 冲 but figured it to be a legitimate variant, as I know that sometimes happens.

No wonder...

*清=>請, both can be read 'sei'.

*扱=>扔, Japanese does not have 扔, meanwhile 扱 is a common kanji that means 'handle'.

?入=>進, 入 feels like 古文.

沖 is the Japanese equivalent for 冲, e.g. 沖縄 Okinawa.

 

Aha!  That's actually two characters between 要 and 垃圾!  Even if the first of those is supposed to be 扱, they've still missed a stroke.

 

Very suspicious.
