it would only work in more residential areas, and by the point you are fighting in a city there will be so mcuh debris that a trash ghillie suit would no longer fit in
It limits you to outdoor urban FFPs, in which you'll be in very canalizing terrain and in which your opportunities to move out after taking the shot will be extremely limited. It'll work once, but if you move in the wrong way you're getting busted and when you take the shot you'll have to get up and run with an extremely noticeable trash suit on you.
Real snipers will typically set up a concealed firing position inside a building, using nets or black sheets hung in layers to hide their presence from outside observation or firing through loopholes.

This. OP is confusing sniping with assassination or observation. Sniping involves shooting more than once, which means you have to think about what happens AFTER the shot and for the next shot, not just before. And bullets are super cheap. After the first trash suit shooter, it's no big deal to just put a few rounds into every sizable trash pile you see thereafter.
Another perspective is that these are fundamentally of the "mimic camouflage" school, same as photorealistic camo for woods. Such camo tends to be good for hunting, where someone stays entirely still, takes one shot at an animal and that's the end. But mimic camo isn't great in motion and is more highly environmentally picky. That's why it's rarely used in militaries.
Such a thing might be situationally useful though for one-time use in certain ambush cases where it's disposed of right after.

Your whole post is very realistic and grounded, but this is what jumps out to me. The ambient level of trash would need to be like Skid Row Los Angeles otherwise that's what's going to happen.
In Sarajevo you had plainclothes snipers mounted up on apartment chairs and couches, putting the muzzle behind the window frame helps to conceal the sound and flash if you lack a suppressor.
Hot as fuck.
Because most places aren't a russian-occupied trench.
idk about that
there's fucking trash EVERYWHERE
where do you live?
it does though
need
cover yourself in superglue and roll around in trash
Is that a ghillie of fucking bricks?
Probably cardboard boxes, maybe paper mache if you have time to be fancy
Styrofoam and random cardboard stuff
Is that a sniper, an IED or just a pile of trash? Nobody knows.

Obligatory
The trashman cometh
Damn i haven't seen the sauce in a long long time

Seems pretty ideal for urban snipers, especially guerrillas.

It would
no one ever said it wouldn't work.
