Narrative:

Between taxiway T and taxiway U and between taxiway U and runway 24L, lots of trash: large pieces of paper, black plastic pots, other miscellaneous trash noted. Observed from at least taxiway U-68 to taxiway 45. Foreign object damage potential appeared significant enough to foreign object damage an aircraft engine.
