What would be the benefit?

Winter rye makes a VAST amount of organic matter, both roots and tops.
It will help to condition your soil and provide lots of nearly-free
organic matter.

As for the milkweed, leave a few for the Monarch butterflies.

Your veggie scraps are not helping in the garage - put them in holes,
too, unless you have started a worm bin or compost pile. Else they might
do some mice some good, right there in your garage.
