No worries, it's better to be over-cautious than under-cautious.
That first tree looks kinda like a maple maybe (we don't have those here so I'm not sure), either way those all sound like fine trees (except for the cedar in the last pictures of course).
I wouldn't collect from the area with cigarette butts, but that pretty area by your house looks fine.
Something to keep in mind if your pede collection grows: Whenever I get a fresh batch of dead leaves, I only put them in one of my pede tanks at first, and then after there's no signs of pesticide exposure, I give them to the rest.
