Why isn't flag burning a crime? If I go outside and light my garbage on fire on a public street I'm pretty sure I could be arrested and/or fined.

Are you serious? Uhh...Bald Eagles are against the law to burn/kill, or even mess with their nests. So yes they are more important than the 1st Admendment

Because burning your garbage doesn't qualify as speech under the First Amendment.
If you were prosecuted under a local ordinance that prevents you from burning your trash, you could not successfully present as a defense that you were simply exercising your right to free speech.
