wow, that sucks.
wait till she's happy one day & talk to her.
tell her that grounding you for the WHOLE summer because of some trash isn't fair.

..wait till she's happy though.
my mom's pretty much the sme way, ..well, sort of.
but yeah. talking to her works, always.

That's a real lame excuse to ground you the whole summer.

You: Sorry, I forgot to take the trash.
Mom: YOU'RE GROUNDED THE WHOLE SUMMER

That doesn't sound reasonable, whatsoever.
If I were you, I'd clean around the house, without her asking you to, not ask to go out for a couple days. Ass-kiss, basically. If that doesn't do anything or help, go up to her and try having a conversation with her. Start off with a normal one, like "Hows your day" blahblahblah. And ask her why you won't let her go out, because it can't be just from some leftover trash. It was totally accidental, and just apologize.

Okay my mom is EXACTLY like that. You should sit down with her when she's in a calm mood and explain that there is nothing to do and you just want to have a fun summer. My mom thinks I always want to hang with friends, when I barely do because of her. Just don't nag her or bug her, and if you sit her down and ask why you were punished from forgetting to take out the trash, you could get a good explanation. But if it doesn't make sense like my mom 24/7, be firm and tell her that you're getting too bored to stay at home the whole summer.

There might be something going on with your mom's life right now...maybe something at work. One day when she seem slike she is calm and everything, ask her if you two could sit down and talk. Tell her that you really did forget to take out the trash, that there is nothing to do at home and you don't want to clean all the time.

And very calm and gentle say 'Is everything ok? You've been getting really mad the past few days..' and if that doesn't help, then get do some stuff around the house to show that you do want to help out, and if she asks you to do something, do it. And then maybe you could show her that you do listen...(And when you talk to her...don't get mad, just stay calm, and try to act as mature as possible)

I wish you the best of luck, and I hoped I helped!
