excavated mountain material
The proper method of disposal is as excavated mountain material.
I searched Google for "+stripmining +disposal +mountain" and found some partially supportive sites, but no bullseye.

I\'m not happy with the above.
\"Mine waste\" or \"mining waste\" appears frequently, but this could be waste from building a road.
How about \"excavation waste\"? The only thing lacking is that it is not restricted to mountains. \"Mountain excavation waste\"?
Many sites go an abstraction level higher and speak of \"solid waste\", but that is too general.
Should I \"Hide this answer\" and enter a new one in order to assure that the correct translation (if \"excavation waste\" seems to be it) is entered in the Kudoz dictionary? Any tips?

J C Cantrell\'s comment below has just redirected the whole show.
We are talking about something like \"abandoned mine fillage\" -- filling up an old mine with solid waste or excavation waste.
Now \"fillage\" is usually used in oil mining, where water is used to displace the oil and force it up. If you can find a better term in solid waste disposal, so much the better.
I request that J C make an entry and collect the points.
I withdraw my misdirection but wish to leave the discussion, so I won\'t hide it.

By the way, the waste itself need not be displaced excavation material from a road or a mine. It can be household waste.

Could this be \"Disposal is accomplished by stowage performed by xxx\"?

Lots of Google hits for Bergeversatz, most having to do with mining.
