There is plenty of space junk , space debris, orbital debris or space waste.
These are the human objects that orbit around Earth that no longer serve any useful purpose.
They consist of everything from entire spent rocket stages, defunct satellites, to explosion fragments, paint flakes, dust, and slag from solid rocket motors, coolant released by Russian nuclear powered satellites, deliberate insertion of small needles (artificial ionosphere), and other small particles.
