Rubbish goes in the bin, not the intricate machinery of the Barrel Hoop!
Throw rubbish (not a barrel) into the Barrel Hoop. Around the Space Rig there are bits of junk/debris you can pick up and throw - lob a piece of rubbish into the hoop instead of a barrel. The game teasing you for using it 'wrong'. Grab some litter and toss it in.
