dust collector

Particle capture device

A dust collector is a device or system that removes particulate matter from air, used in workshops, factories, and industrial settings to maintain air quality and prevent respiratory hazards.

Figuratively, a dust collector is something that sits unused and gathers dust: That exercise bike is just a dust collector now.
