disposal site
Where trash goes
A disposal site is a location designated for discarding waste or unwanted materials.
The term most often refers to landfills or dumps where garbage is deposited, but extends to facilities handling hazardous waste, nuclear materials, or industrial byproducts: The county approved a new disposal site for construction debris.
