GarbageCollection means letting the computer track memory usage and free unused blocks automatically. This works surprisingly well, and is used in many ProgrammingLanguages? - in just about every very high level language, and also Java. Since manually managing memory is notoriously difficult, GarbageCollection can cut a huge portion out of development time and nowadays it won't even negatively impact (infact, may improve) the performance of an application.
