The phrase "much refuse" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It is not commonly used and may confuse readers, as "refuse" typically refers to waste or garbage, and "much" is not the appropriate quantifier for it.
Example: "There was much refuse left on the street after the festival." (This usage is awkward and not standard.)
Alternatives: "a lot of waste" or "plenty of garbage.".
