Indian English variant of 'garbage' used as a countable or plural noun, referring to waste or refuse. In standard British and American English, 'garbage' is typically an uncountable mass noun, but Indian English frequently treats it as countable. The usage is a grammatically distinctive feature of South Asian English rather than colloquial slang in the usual sense. The plural is grammatically systematic within Indian English.
The municipality was struggling to collect the garbages from the newer residential areas.
