garbage collector
Curbside waste worker
A garbage collector is a worker who picks up trash, typically from curbside bins on a regular route.
In computing, a garbage collector is a program or process that automatically reclaims memory no longer in use, freeing it for reallocation.
Both senses involve removing what's been discarded: The garbage collector comes on Tuesdays; Java's garbage collector handles memory management automatically.
