Yes it will gather garbage, for a while.
I've collected water at .9 uS after a half hour of heavy rain time, off a galvanized steel roof, which, aside from an asphalt roof, is probably one of the worst ways to collect rain water. If not decent distilled itself, it's at least pretty good source water for a distiller. Might want to run it through a charcoal filter to get any nonconductive volatiles, bird poop? and left over particulates.

Drive 4 stakes into the ground and suspend a clean sheet of plastic from the stakes, cut a hole in the center of the droop and put a catch jar there after it's been raining a while.

On a large scale 30 x 40 foot tarp and upended 300 gallon drum covered with screen wire to keep the skeeters out and hose spigot at the bottom, it can be enough water to live on and water a small garden...and have a shady spot to boot. [did that for several years ]

Believe it or not it can actually collect a lot of garbage on its way down, depending on where you are - in some cases it may not be nearly as pure as you might think - drinkable, yes, but definitely not as pure as distilled (mineralized and ozonated).
