It has two meanings.
1. Don't make a mess/ damage the room.
2. Don't say bad things about the place ('trash talk' or 'to trash' is when you say bad things about someone or something!)

1. Literal Meaning:
* "Don't make a mess or destroy the place."
* Example: Someone might say this if they're asking someone not to leave garbage everywhere or damage property.
2. Figurative Meaning:
* "Don't ruin or disrespect the place."
* Example: This could be said to someone who might be acting in a way that disrespects the environment, like behaving rudely or irresponsibly.
