Garbage Day! (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012. It featured the Eleventh Doctor.

Summary
The Doctor arrives during the closing countdown to the launch of Clean-up Day — when an army of automated Garbage-bots are turned over live to remove all rubbish for a cleaner future. But given the freedom to decide what is rubbish the Gar-bots include the humans (which they detect to be covered in germs), and begin a clear-up. The Doctor disguising himself as rubbish, gets collected and taken to the sorting centre where he discovers the Gar-bots central processor and re-programmes their definition of rubbish. As a result of the Doctor’s tinkering the Gar-bots turn on each other, and free the humans they had trapped inside.
