dust-collector
Neglected decorative object
A dust-collector is something that gathers dust through neglect—an object that sits unused and forgotten: That exercise bike became an expensive dust-collector.
The term implies a purchase or possession that seemed worthwhile but now serves no purpose beyond taking up space.
In industrial contexts, a dust collector is equipment that removes particulate matter from air.
