Can I use my mother's money for a dumpster?

My mother is 75 yrs old. I live with her in her house. There is just a lot of junk that needs to be thrown out...56 yrs worth. She said, "I could use her money." I handled her finances. I know she will need Medicaid, and I am keeping her books. But can I use her money for a dumpster to clean out her house and have her not get penalize from Medicaid? She won't need Medicaid for a year or more! (I figure).

My mother is a fall risk and there is just too much stuff that I couldn't give away.

Thank you for your answers in advance :)
