Chrysopidae.
I believe that only larval Chrysopidae are known "trash carriers." Forget about getting to genus or species, though. Even the adults pose real ID problems.

 
Thank you, Eric.
I was certain I'd seen some other dirtball neuropteran larvae come through here, but I don't see them now. I've moved this one to family page.
