My mom threw my iPhone box in the trash without my knowledge. My question is, is it possible that when the workers empty the trash they can get the phone’s IMEI information? Is it possible that they can hack my phone? Please respond.

No one can hack your phone from a remote location.....period.
Apple does not use IMEI for tracking or identification.
If someone knew your Apple ID and Apple ID Password, they could access the data on your iCloud backups.....but they still could not access your phone remotely.
If someone had your phone in their possession......and they knew your Passcode, Apple ID and Password, they could access the data on your iPhone.
Your phone is fine. Be nice to Mom.

Nope! You have nothing to worry about. Enjoy your phone.
