waste buildup

Collected trash pile

Waste buildup is the accumulation of unwanted material over time.

The term appears in contexts ranging from bodily functions to environmental concerns: toxin waste buildup in the liver, waste buildup in landfills.

In plumbing, waste buildup causes clogs; in metabolism, it triggers the urge to eliminate.
