This is no garbage! It's ANSI Esc sequence codes to colourise GNU ls'  
output. Such switch this behaviour in ls off or use an ANSI compliant  
terminal emulation (for example via M-x term RET).

I think since GNU Emacs 23.1 the *shell* buffer is able to "execute"  
these codes. Maybe you just need to activate this ability:

        (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

Check the documentation!
