garbage dumps
Where trash goes
Garbage dumps are sites where trash and waste materials are deposited and left to accumulate.
The term often implies an unmanaged or informal disposal area, contrasting with the more regulated sanitary landfill.
Figuratively, any cluttered, filthy space: His apartment is a garbage dump.
