Questioning correctness of certain words or phrases

Hi, I sometimes am not sure about correctness of a certain word or phrases.

eg,
... is harped a miracle in the East.
I have heard and saw somewhere that you can say "harped as ..." but just "harped ..."? It does seem to make sense but how could I check if this is OK or correct?

... garbage up the neighborhood.
I don't remember hearing it. It makes intuitional sense but how could I check if this is OK or correct?
