「捨てる」は英語でどう言う?

I've felt the need for spring cleaning recently. One of my projects is throwing out things that I no longer need. My new rule is "if you haven't touched it for a year, you don't need it."
  • All of today's definitions are from Eijiro on the Web.
  • throw out 投げ出す、投げ捨てる
This is a bag of things that I'm getting rid of. Thanks to my bicycle, global warming, and being a vegetarian, this bag contains wool scarves that I can toss.

Disposing of some things is tough. I have a collection of old batteries that need to be dumped because I still don't know where the special bin for them is in my building's garbage collection area.

  • dump 中身{なかみ}を)放出{ほうしゅつ}する [ドサッとあける]、~を投げ捨てる、投げおろす、ドサッと降ろす、捨てる、放り出す、置きざりにする
I've already chucked about 10 percent of my personal belongings. I wonder how much more I can throw away.

  • throw away ~を投げ捨てる Throw this away. : これを捨ててください。/これ、捨てといて。/これ、ポイして。

"Throw away" is the most common one, probably, but any of these can be used to say 捨てる.
