trash disposal
Getting rid of junk
Trash disposal refers to the systems and methods for removing and processing household or commercial waste.
In American English, it often specifically means a garbage disposal—the electric device installed beneath a kitchen sink that grinds food scraps so they can be flushed through plumbing.
More broadly, trash disposal encompasses garbage collection services, landfills, recycling programs, and incineration facilities.
