Copper golems put items in chests that already contain that item or are empty. This means that if you accidentally put an item that the golem can't sort into a copper chest then the golem will get stuck holding that item. Having the golem put the item that can't be sorted back into the copper chest would just cause a cycle of the golem repeatedly trying to sort that item but having the golem continue to hold the item means that your sorting system breaks and the rest of the chest never gets sorted.
I propose adding a "junk chest" to the game. If a golem tries to sort an item and can't find somewhere to put it after checking all the chests in the area then it will place it in a junk chest. Provided you have placed one the golem can reach. Golems can place any item in the junk chest regardless of what is already in it as long as the junk chest is not full.
This functionality could be added to an already existing container like barrels or a certain oxidation level of the copper chest. However I think having a dedicated junk chest item would be more intuitive.
