This worked for me!
Something else I do when he has something he shouldn't (sock, wrapper, etc) I have a treat cup that I shake to get his attention and trade him a treat for the item - take the item with one hand and offer with the other.
If I'm sweeping in the kitchen or, he's at the garbage bin, or something like that, I yell at the object! 'Bad dust!' or 'Bad garbage!' or 'Bad whatever' I don't look at him, and I point at the thing. He then avoids it like the plague. Usually I don't have to do it more than once.
