You know, I mean actual garbage, trash, waste, not pop culture that is garbage.
This is the first example I could think of: the Death Star Garbage Compactor, in the first Star Wars * (1977).
"What an incredible smell you've discovered."
--Han Solo, having just fallen into the soon-to-start-compacting compactor
The Star Wars wiki informs us that it is Garbage Compactor 3263827 (that's it's hatch number)
. . . and it also notes that in the "New Hope novel and Star Wars 4: In Battle with Darth Vader, this Garbage Compactor is incorrectly numbered as 366117891").
I love fans.
* So, OK, properly it's the fourth episode, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
But I saw it when it came out and there weren't no others, so it's the first. I never watched the movie for again for about thirty years, but I remembered this scene vividly.
