Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
There is no issue with placing company names in the trash; it is not considered a humiliation or disrespect to the owner of the company or store.
This is all unless the names are of those that must be respected, such as the name of God.
May you be successful in all good.
