garbage
What bins collect
Garbage is waste material, especially household refuse: Take out the garbage.
The word extends to anything worthless or of poor quality: That movie was garbage, garbage in, garbage out.
In computing, garbage refers to corrupted or meaningless data.
To garbage something is to discard it, though this use is less common than simply throwing it away.
