Trash variable isn't global? (even though it is, or at least it should be?)

Alright so, what I'm doing is creating a script where when you touch an object, (named trash), it will disappear and give you 1 point for the trash leader stat, the issue is, the trash leader stat claims its not a global variable, which it is, because there is no local with it. Here is the trash block script:

local trashblock = script.Parent
local harvest = script.Parent.harvest

trashblock.Touched:Connect(function()
	if harvest == true then
		trashblock.Transparency = 1
		trashblock.CanCollide = false
		if trashblock.Transparency == 1 then
			harvest = false
		end
		if harvest == true then
			trash.Value = trash.Value + 1
		end
		wait(30)
		trashblock.Transparency = 0
		trashblock.CanCollide = true
	end
end)

And here is the leader stat (and datastore for the trash leader stat) script:

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local trash = ds:GetDataStore("TrashStats")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	local ls = Instance.new("Folder")    
	ls.Name = "leaderstats"
	ls.Parent = plr
	
	trash = Instance.new("IntValue")   
	trash.Name = "Trash"
	trash.Value = trash:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
	trash.Parent = ls
end)

Does anybody know how to fix the error? The error reads: W001: Unknown global 'trash' (the error is for the trash.Value's in the trash block script). I have literally no idea how to make it work, as it should work because in my leader stats script the trash variable is global. Any help?
