"扔" isn't pronounced as "wang", so I don't think this is it.

@Flux *Reng* could easily be misheard as *wang*. There aren't many other combinations of `x + 垃圾`.

reng1 (pinyin) is the Mandarin pronunciation of "扔", but this question is about Cangtonese. "扔" is pronounced wing1 (Jyutping) in Cantonese. However, "扔" is rarely used in Cantonese. "Throw" can be said in Cantonese as "掟" (deng3) or (in the case of trash) "抌" (dam2), but neither of those sound close to "wang".

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-06-26)

Looking at the dictionary, I see that "throw rubbish" in Cantonese is "掉垃圾". However, in the past, I remember hearing something different for "throw rubbish": "wang垃圾".

I need some help:

* What is the character used to represent "wang" in "wang垃圾"?
* In what region is "wang垃圾" used? It certainly does not appear to be Guangzhou or Hong Kong Cantonese.

Do you mean *reng*

The phrase:

Can mean either to discard of garbage or litter.
