About this episode

This episode teaches useful English vocabulary and phrases related to junk and garbage.

In this English lesson, I’ll help you learn useful words and phrases about junk and garbage. We’ll explore how native speakers use these words in everyday life, from talking about junk food and junk mail to describing something as complete junk. You’ll also learn a wide range of related vocabulary, including words like trash, rubbish, and waste, along with more specific terms like e-waste, scraps, and litter. We’ll look at places and systems connected to waste, such as landfills, recycling centres, and composting facilities, as well as everyday items like garbage cans, recycling bins, and dumpsters. Along the way, I’ll explain useful expressions like to junk a car, describe what a junkyard is, and help you understand terms like salvageable and waste management. You’ll also learn practical phrases connected to daily life, like garbage day and garbage truck. By the end of the lesson, you’ll be able to talk more naturally and confidently about things that are messy, broken, low quality, or simply no longer useful. I hope you enjoy this English lesson on junk and garbage!
