A waste disposal unit known as a trash incinerator utilized laser bolts within a chamber to incinerate waste. On Castilon, the Colossus platform possessed such a unit by 34 ABY, with activation occurring every three days. Torra Doza, the daughter of Captain Imanuel Doza, the platform's owner, decided to use the incinerator as a clandestine exit route to smuggle her friend Kazuda Xiono and the astromech droid BB-8 out of Doza Tower. She believed it would be inactive that day. Nevertheless, a miscalculation resulted in the humans and droid having to evade the active incinerator's bolts until BB-8 managed to open the exit door.
The episode "Secrets and Holograms" from the 2018 Star Wars Resistance marked the initial appearance of trash incinerators.
