How to use rubbish in a sentence?

1. Ian McKellen:

   For people to complain about it and say they don't want children to see it is absolute rubbish, i know people who don't like gay people and make a fuss. It's a very small moment in the movie, no one should get too excited.

2. Gordon Noble:

   We are digging in what is essentially the area that the Picts threw their rubbish but this collection of the waste products of their day-to-day lives is a treasure trove to archaeologists, what’s exciting is the level of preservation here. We’ve found animal bone which rarely survives in mainland Scotland because of the acidic soil. We are already getting really nice information about what people ate within the fort and we hope to extract a level of information we’ve not had for Pictish sites before.

3. Rosemary Tovar:

   I left because I was dying of hunger. We are trying to get ahead looking through this rubbish. Every night I pray to God to take me out of here.

4. Norman Douglas:

   A man can believe a considerable deal of rubbish, and yet go about his daily work in a rational and cheerful manner.

5. Christina Kaloudi:

   The holiday season on islands is now a lot longer than it used to be, meaning that the donkeys are pretty much working the whole year round, if they are not transporting tourists up the steps they are moving building materials or transporting heavy bags of rubbish. There are some good owners out there that follow the code but generally, donkeys are worked into the ground and then disposed of when their working lives are over.
