When I brought Tara home, I immediately put the bathroom waste basket under the bathroom sink, where it is not visible or available. I had the kitchen trash under the kitchen sink, also behind closed doors. When I remodeled the kitchen this winter, I made a pullout trash "drawer" so the trash still isn't available. Tara has never had access to trash in my home.
I look at this as removing opportunities for trouble, just like crating when I'm not home to supervise. If she can't get into anything, I can't be mad at her, and we're both happy

If you can remove her opportunities somehow, that would probably help a lot.
I also agree with the suggestion of keeping her on a leash with you for a while; when she's out of the habit of snatch and run, which perhaps you can replace with different habits, like bringing you toys to play with, give her some off leash time closely supervised and see how she does.
Good luck!
