garbage collection
Waste pickup service
Garbage collection is the removal of waste from homes and businesses—the trash truck's weekly rounds.
In computing, garbage collection is automatic memory management: the system identifies and reclaims memory no longer in use by a program, freeing resources without requiring the programmer to do it manually.
Java handles garbage collection automatically.
