How to use "Rubbish heap" in context?
When someone talks about a rubbish heap, it's safe to assume they're not thinking of a landscaped garden amenity. Nor are they usually envisioning a decorative rock feature in their back yard. A rubbish heap simply means a pile of old, no longer useable items that are strewn about haphazardly.
The average person throws away an estimated one ton of material each year, meaning a rubbish heap grows progressively larger over time. In densely populated areas, a rubbish heap can take on monumental proportions, becoming so large that it obstructs vehicular access or becomes a public health hazard.
