Question about English (US)

What does it couldn't be traced back to me. mean?

I found the below sentence in "Good Place" drama.
It was raining trash out of nowhere since a woman, Eleanor, ditched trash instead of dumpster. She felt guilty and cleaned it up on that night.
Her soul mate found her cleaning up and asked her what she was doing.
She said like this.

"I went to all the places where I dumped trash earlier and cleaned it up so it couldn't be traced back to me."

What does "be traced back to me" mean here?
