Q

der Abfall, die Abfälle

in der täglichen Anwendung erweisen sich die Abfalleimer als unbrauchbar. Die Öffnung ist zu klein, Pizzaschachteln und Lunchboxen verstopfen sie, der Abfall quillt rasch über, und zu guter Letzt kommen Möwen und Tauben gut an die Reste heran und verteilen sie über die Stadt. [Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 15.03.2022]

A

garbage
der Müll

technically speaking it is more abstract as ‘waste’

In daily use, the waste garbage cans prove to be useless. The opening is too small, pizza boxes and lunch boxes clog them up, the waste quickly overflows and, last but not least, seagulls and pigeons have easy access to the leftovers and spread them around the city.
