Should it be IT or THEM? And why?

    In general, you should include the complete sentence or paragraph for complete context.

    it (the antecedent is "rubbish") would be fine unless you were talking specifically about a tonnage limit. Also, consider are accumulating as an alternative to are being accumulated.
