wasteyard
Discarded items area
A wasteyard is an area where waste materials, debris, or discarded items are deposited or stored.
The term combines waste with yard in the sense of an enclosed or designated outdoor space: The old machinery rusted in the wasteyard behind the factory.
Less common than junkyard or scrapyard, which carry similar meanings.
