Preciso mandar fazer uma placa com o nome DESCARTE em inglês para ser colocada em um local onde são colocados os produtos e embalagens que são jogados fora. Não posso usar o nome lixo, tem que ser descarte, na sua equivalência no inglês.

: Disposal is sometimes used as a noun, but not in this context. i.e. garbage disposal - a device, electrically-powered, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap which shreds food waste into small pieces to pass through plumbing
