[Mermaidman]

Trash:

Garbage:

 

[clamum]

I use both and pretty much interchangeably.

trash is reddit.
garbage is what you'd expect it to be.

I demand that 'recyclables' be added to the pole!
The OP doesn't care about the environment!

material manifestation of excess
going to dump is like going to church
unless u got a trashman, then he might be like a wandering deacon
<.<

Sadly, I think too few that read these forums will ever recognize the subtle brilliance contained within these posts.

Tree-hugger! Not everything can be recycled anyway.

I concur

Trash is what I put in the garbage.

So the garbage is the container that holds the trash. Such as the lid, bag, etc.

Not the same thing.

What if you put garbage in the trash? :hmm:

Trash = Papers, used condoms, Cup O' Noodle containers...etc

Garbage = Raw meat containers, banana peels, spoiled milk...etc


IMO.

This makes sense but I use the two as the same.

 

[Sentinel]

I use garbage consistently.

Garbage is what you put down the garbage disposer.

Trash is what you put in the trash can, and take to the curb.

 

[MaxPayne63]

garbage = useless/decaying stuff I am going to throw out.
trash = useless/decaying people I wish I could throw out.

 

[Sluggo]

I take the trash out to the curb so the garbage man will come pick it up.

It's not that hard.

i use both, but i kick it up a notch by pronouncing "garbage" like "garage"

 

[IronWing]

Garbage.

Rubbish!

 

[Raduque]

I use garbage for anything specifically that's lousy or useless (IE: this <whatever> is garbage) and trash for anything that needs to be thrown away.

Only if it is fancy

Just like the really old Jonathon Winters Hefty commercials.
