This can include, for example, household and bulky waste, building rubble, construction site waste, car wrecks, but also excess excavated soil (loose and solid rock excavated or removed during construction work). It is also "wild waste" if the waste has been covered with soil.
The dumping of "wild waste" is prohibited and constitutes an administrative offense. It can be punished with a fine.
