Someone's long fall is broken by an open dumpster full of garbage bags or an open heaping trash pile. The trash will usually be softer than anything else in the immediate vicinity — you'd think there's a high chance of broken glass or sharp metal objects in there, but this is hardly ever a problem... maybe fictional people are better at wrapping it in cardboard. Sometimes the trash just happens to be there, which is a lucky break if the person falling wanted to live. People Driven to Suicide who land in one of these will likely be unhappy about the Unwanted Rescue. Sometimes, the person doing the falling aimed for the trash. When the character picks themselves up, there is a good chance they will stop to remove debris or food from their clothing. More often than not includes a banana peel. For large trash piles, they might not need to stop — trash will fall off their clothes as they move. Bonus points if someone tries eating items from the trash. Another common variation, limited solely to comic uses, generally to kids' shows and mostly to people who really deserve it, is the big-ol' pile of horsesh... er, manure. May serve as a way for our heroes to end up Down in the Dumps. Compare Dumpster Dive, where the character deliberately enters a garbage pile to retrieve something and Slipping into Stink, for a short fall (as in falling over, not falling from the sky) into something gross. Also see Living Crashpad and Car Cushion. Note: This is a very risky stunt, and unless the only alternative is certain death, it would be best to think twice about doing this in real life. At the very least, you'll almost certainly break bones and, given what people throw away, are likely to get multiply stabbed and injected with garbage and garbage juice. (The manure pile, while disgusting, is also less likely to kill you, assuming you don't land wrong — but still, don't try it unless there's no alternative.) |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit subverts this into pure terror. While running from the police, a suspect jumps to safety in a garbage truck. Unfortunately at that moment the driver starts compacting the trash in the truck and could hear neither the screams of the victim nor the cops due to headphones he was wearing. | |

Tested by the MythBusters — if you're certain there's nothing dangerous under that top layer of trash, it's doable. Their "best case" setup assumed a dumpster used by a mattress factory and thus full of foam scrap; it did a better job of cushioning Buster's (and later Adam's) fall than the regulation stunt airbag. However, on the flip side (and the main factor working against this trope's practicality), if you're not absolutely sure that the dumpster's safe, it probably isn't. When the Mythbusters went to a waste disposal facility to look through dumpsters, they noted that the three that they selected at random to look at had items like medical waste, rebar and wood slats, which would likely severely injure anyone jumping into the dumpster. The expert they talked to backed up those findings, noting that dumpsters filled only with soft material, such as the mattress factory example above, make up a very, very small percentage of the total garbage received. |

Eddie, the lead kidnapper in Baby's Day Out, gets knocked semi-unconscious and dropped off a building and into a garbage bin at one point while he and his two co-crooks are chasing after the titular baby. He survives, presumably partly due to being only half conscious and having a bunch of objects to break his fall on the way down. | |

Spider Robinson's Callahan's Lady includes a short story with a villainess with some Applied Phlebotinum that forces the characters to do anything she asks them to. One of the orders she gives to the protagonist and another character is "don't go downstairs".

In the video game adaptation of Men in Black, near the beginning, you're being fired upon while descending a building's fire escape. You can't descend all the way down because you'll die before the enemies get within the range of your weapons, so your only choice is to leap down into the dumpster. | |

In Resident Evil 4, Leon and Ashley escape from a part of Saddler's island compound by jumping down a trash chute, and come out no worse for the wear. The same chute can be used to dispose of a few Militia Ganados with a crane beforehand, but all bets are off as to whether they die when tossed down it or just move off after landing. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Daredevil (2015): The episode "Cut Man" opens with a seriously wounded Daredevil being found in a dumpster. He'd been ambushed but was able to escape, and presumably fell into the dumpster while fleeing across rooftops. Later a criminal comes looking for him and gets captured by Daredevil who does a High-Altitude Interrogation, then drops him into the same dumpster. Invoked in Jessica Jones (2015). Kilgrave has told Will Simpson to jump off a building, so Jessica saves him by knocking him out, dragging him down to the alley beneath the building, and dropping him in a dumpster. When he wakes up, she tells him that he jumped off the building and landed in the dumpster. Since Simpson believes he fulfilled Kilgrave's command, the compulsion to jump goes away. |

Naegi in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc at the end of the fifth trial drops several stories (depending on how many levels down the trial room is) into the school's trash dump without any complication, despite falling headfirst next to a solidly-built desk and chair. Some hours later Kirigiri does the same thing, with a cup of ramen stuck to her head as the only consequence. Later on, the two of them make it back to the first floor on a ladder that takes them roughly half an hour to climb. | |

In an episode of The Nanny, Fran agrees to go out with a guy whom she had rejected in High School. Then he asks her to marry him or else he will jump out of a window and kill himself. But when it seems like everything has turned out alright (Maxwell has read a play he has written and decided to produce it), he trips and falls down several floors by accident, only to have his life saved by landing in a garbage pile on the pavement below them. | |

The Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon has an example where Mega Man is being overwhelmed by Wily's bots and needs to make a getaway off a bridge. He spends a superblast on Guts Man, knocking him into the other bots, and while they're picking themselves up from that, Mega Man and Rush jump off the bridge onto a garbage barge to get away. Surfacing from it with a banana peel on his head, he wonders aloud whether Wily's bots or himself have the worse end of the deal. | |

Hilariously subverted in We're the Millers. David attempts this when fleeing from three thugs chasing after him. He drops his backpack down first, but it hits the trash can lid, causing it to close. He then lands on the lid instead, and due to the pain, he's unable to move, allowing the three thugs to steal his stuff. | |

This is the fate of Veruca Salt and her parents in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Nut Room's squirrels toss them down the bad nut chute, which is directly connected to the factory's rubbish pipe, and emerge from the building in the denouement completely covered in garbage. It could have been worse though — the rubbish pipe ends at an incinerator, and had luck not been with them, they would have been burned alive! | |

This trope can occasionally be seen being played straight on wrestling whenever there's a backstage brawl. One example is when The Undertaker had Hulk Hogan tied to the back of his motorcycle and was dragging him around backstage only for Hogan to go crashing into a pile of empty cardboard boxes, while the announcers played up how painful that apparently would be. | |

During the chase at Tokyo Airport in Cars 2, both Mater and Finn McMissile escape from villains Grem and Acer by leading them through the fuselage of a Samairai plane, causing the two villains to fall into a waste disposal truck parked next to that plane. According to the novelization and comic, this happens to said villains again during the chase in London near the end, but such did not happen in the film (in the actual movie, both Grem and Acer meet their end when Holly Shiftwell knocks the two away from Mater and Lightning McQueen, then luring them both into a pub called "Ye Left Turn Inn", where the two are immediately beaten up by several angry trucks inside. | |

Played with in the episode "Roswell That Ends Well", when Fry pushes his young grandfather, Enos out of the way of a moving vehicle, on to a pile of rusty bayonets. The vehicle itself turned and wasn't headed towards Enos. |

Kate is doing a Balcony Escape while a Yakuza goon shoots at her from the street below, so she jumps on top of him, using both his body and the piled bags of garbage they land on to break her fall. | |

In the comic strip Judge Dredd, a perp running from Dredd sees a "laundry Chute" and jumps in, expecting to land in a nice soft pile of laundry; Dredd shouts "You fool! That's not a laundry chute, that's Garbage Disposal!" The usual sound effects ("Aaaaaiiiiieeee!" Grind! Crunch! Squelch!) ensue. | |

Doctor Who: In "Inferno", the detached TARDIS console drops the Doctor into a rubbish tip at the story's conclusion. In "Survival", the Doctor is thrown from the explosion when neither he nor the guy he's playing motorcycle-chicken with swerves in time. He lands face first (and arse up) in a pile of rubbish someone was nice enough to leave lying in an abandoned field. "Boom Town": Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen's emergency teleporter allowed her to escape 10 Downing Street, unlike the rest of her family — but she wound up in a skip on the Isle of Dogs. |

Person of Interest had a more sensible version when a man does a Destination Defenestration into a crate of styrofoam packing pellets. Even then he's stunned for several minutes (and would probably have broken his neck smashing through the plate glass). | |

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Kusanagi gets thrown into a dumpster by a combat cyborg during a sting, but is fine thanks to being a cyborg herself. Batou finds it funny, she doesn't, and he wishes Togusa luck on the way back since he's riding with her. The next time we see her she's in an even skimpier outfit than usual since she had to change clothes, prompting Aramaki to ask if she's trying to get his attention. | |

Played straight by accident in the Left 4 Dead games. Several spots with drops and windows have trash bags just high enough to prevent fall damage if the player lands on them. One of them in the second map of "No Mercy" is part of a meta strategy in Versus mode. | |
