First, you need the comma after players to separate the non-essential clause - eliminat C
D is out because the which describes the players as what are discarded, not that waste items.
A - them is ambiguous

Ultimately down to B and E


Tricky, but 'that have been discarded as trash is still modifying waste items. The transports in B is parallel with collects at the beginning of the sentence.
