As used in canon:

   qatlh Dat DI tu'lu', tlhIngan?
   Why is there rubble everywhere, Klingon? CK

   vaj toDuj Daj ngeHbej DI vI'.
   Shooting space garbage is no test of a warrior's mettle.  ST5/TKW
   ["Sharpshooting of the cosmos' litter inconclusively tests a warrior's 
courage."]

Cf. also the nouns {pIgh} "ruins", {pugh} "dregs" and {veQ} "garbage".

Useful verbs WRT litter and garbage are {woD} "throw away" and {polHa'} 
"discard".
