The term "land-trash" is a compound of "land," derived from Old English "land," meaning "ground" or "earth," and "trash," which comes from the Old Norse "trask," meaning "waste" or "rubbish." The concept of trash has evolved through the ages to encompass various forms of waste found both in urban and rural settings.
