You can use these words in different situations, but here is the most common way. "The new channel on TV is trash!" (meaning: sexually suggestive) "That new restaurant is rubbish!" (Rubbish is almost never used in the USA, though) "I took out the garbage." Or: "That TV show is garbage!" (Sexually suggestive) "I won the raffle!" (Lottery for an item) " Refuse isn't used to mean low quality. "She asked me on a date, but I refused." "A breeze swept over the water." (wind) "That test today was a breeze!" (easy) "Dust was all over my furniture." (資料來源) "His life was a waste." (something not used) "I did not eat the rest, so it went to waste." (something not used/eaten) I hope this helps.

waste = i give you here an example for using "waste" as a verb: if you taking shower, you can do it complete in 10 minutes... if you showering longer, and you dont need to, then you are wasting water.... so you use water, you actually dont need anymore. As a noun waste can be used for things, that dont have a high value.
