piece of junk
Total waste heap
A piece of junk is something worthless, broken, or of very poor quality.
The phrase usually describes objects—cars, appliances, furniture—that don't work properly or aren't worth keeping: This old lawnmower is a piece of junk.
It can extend to abstract things like ideas or proposals: The whole plan was a piece of junk.
