garbage vs. rubbish
deseuri menajere vs. alte deseuri solide municipale


Explanation:
In romana nu exista denumiri specifice pentru toate tipurile de deseuri. Eu as merge pe traducerea propusa, cu mentiunea ca puteti consulta pentru detalii HG 856/2002 care este transpunerea in legislatia romaneasca a Catalogului European al Deseurilor.

agree  Annamaria Amik: De acord că acestea ar fi categoriile din Legea privind regimul deșeurilor, dar cred că aici vrea să accentueze alimentar vs nealimentar.

Aici deșeurile care corespund rubbish-ului sunt enumerate.

E doar o presupunere. Din context se pare că diferența este alimentar vs nealimentar.

Reference: Garbage versus rubbish

Reference information:
..."in America the object with the plastic bag inside, into which everyone puts things they no longer want (and cannot recycle or churn up in the waste-disposal) is called a garbage can, or garbage pail, or trash can. In Britain it’s called a rubbish bin, or just the bin. Americans would say “throw it in the trash,” and we’d say “throw it in the bin” and that’s that. Rubbish is what is placed in the bin, just as garbage goes in the trash."
