An old fashioned term for a hole typically dug in the ground near a camp or dwelling place where food scraps, kitchen waste, etc. are disposed before being filled over again with earth and after which a new one would be dug as needed. They were common from ancient times through the first half of the 20th century when modern conveniences such as garbage disposals, public sewer systems, and trash service made their necessity obsolete in most places.

Son: Ok mom! I'll be right back with your empty garbage pale.
