waste disposal
Trash collection service
Waste disposal is the process of discarding, treating, or managing unwanted materials—garbage, sewage, industrial byproducts.
Municipal waste disposal includes collection, landfills, incineration, and recycling programs.
In British usage, a waste disposal (or waste disposal unit) is specifically the kitchen appliance Americans call a garbage disposal—the motorized grinder installed in a sink drain.
