Some people argue that ESL speakers shouldn’t change their pronunciation because their accent is part of their identity. For people who have worked on changing your pronunciation patterns, do you feel like this effort erased your identity?

Cumbersome as a noun ? Alternative ?
French native speaker, I'm taking English course at University and we learn everyweek a lot of vocabulary. Sometimes it's basic so I always try to search a bit more on some term or theme I like. This week, we had cumbersome in our list, and the french translation is "encombrant". I have no problem with that but in french, this adjective can kinda be a plural nouns too: "les encombrants" and then it means bulky or really big and cumbersome furniture (waste) that need special service to be taken away. I asked my professor if English had any equivalent / noun but he was unsure (he is also a french native speaker). So any word for that specifically ? Even if it's slang ? If not, how do you call it ? TLDR : Do you have a word for big / cumbersome item wich, because of their volume, are not collected by usual watse service ? Can 'cumbersome' be a noun ?
