Welcome to English in a Minute!
To get rid of something can mean to throw something away. But what do you think “good riddance” means?
D: My roommate is moving out.
A: You mean the roommate who eats your food, never cleans up, and owes you thousands in rent money? Ha. I say, good riddance!
D: Well, he’s my friend too, Anna!
A: Dan, he may be a good friend, but he is a terrible roommate.
“Good riddance” is used to express relief at being free from a troublesome person or thing. It means you are glad that someone is leaving or something is over. I’ve got to agree with Anna, Dan. You deserve better.
