carting away

Transporting stuff elsewhere

Carting away means removing something by loading it up and taking it elsewhere, typically in quantity.

The image is of hauling things off in a cart or vehicle: They carted away three truckloads of debris.

Often implies disposal or clearing out: The police carted away boxes of evidence.
