The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus to move the dab page to the base location. BD2412's suggestion of a concept dab is not without merit, but it did not receive much support – certainly not enough to say there is a consensus to move it out of draft space and to Garbage. I'd recommend starting a new RM for that about whether a concept dab would be appropriate. Jenks24 ( talk) 06:28, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
Garbage (disambiguation) →
Garbage – Since
Municipal solid waste and
Litter are two separate articles, it does not seem as though there is only one article which the term "garbage" could be considered the
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT.

Yes, for me that would also be totally fine. I think garbage may mean different things in different countries. So let's remove that redirect so that entering "garbage" leads to the disambiguation page of garbage, where the most likely meaning is mentioned first and all the other ones are listed as well.

I am still not convinced. Is this your own definition or can you provide a reference for it?: "In urban areas, garbage is collected and treated as municipal solid waste; garbage that is discarded in ways that cause it to end up in the environment, rather than in facilities designed to receive garbage, is considered litter." - the distinction is in practice not so clear cut; think of the case of developing countries, where "garbage" might be sort of collected but dumped in dodgy places (not high tech landfill sites!), therefore does it then turn from garbage into litter? Also take a look at the page on waste picker which might explain further what I am getting at. Is such waste garbage or litter in your way of distinguishing the two? Either way, we'd need good references to back this all up. EvM-Susana ( talk) 11:58, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
This article really needs to be edit locked. Somebody made a correct, accurate edit to the article giving the very well-considered definition of trash as being "Ajit Pai" and somebody keeps reverting to the far less correct prior version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5CC:8301:1FD8:D5F7:4BAA:8B38:821E ( talk) 18:17, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Talk:Garbage redirects here to Talk:Garbage (disambiguation), but Garbage doesn't correspondingly redirect to Garbage (disambiguation); this seems wrong, but I'm not sure what the correct fix is. (I suspect that ultimately Garbage should be merged with Municipal solid waste, but that's a much less trivial fix than dealing with a stray redirect.)
Also, there should probably be better interlinking between Garbage and/or Garbage (disambiguation), Trash, and Waste.
