rubbish dumps
Where trash accumulates
Rubbish dumps are sites where garbage and waste materials are deposited, the British equivalent of American garbage dumps or landfills.
The phrase can describe both official municipal facilities and informal areas where people illegally dispose of trash: The council closed the old rubbish dump and opened a modern recycling center.
