Eindstort

Eindstort is a Dutch term that literally means "end deposit" and is used in technical contexts to denote a final deposition or dumping. The word combines eind- ("end" or "final") with stort ("deposit" or "dump") and is mostly encountered in fields such as waste management and civil engineering. Because it is a specialized term, its precise meaning depends on the domain.

In waste management, an eindstort refers to the final disposal phase at a landfill, where the last layer of soil and cover material is placed and the site transitions to post-closure care. This final cover is designed to isolate waste, control drainage, and reduce gas and leachate emissions. The eindstort is thus an important step in ensuring environmental protection at closed sites.

In other technical contexts, such as dredging or sediment management, eindstort can describe the final placement of deposited material, for example when dredged sediment is returned to a designated deposit area. The term is less common outside Dutch-speaking regions and may be used variably between organisations.

Overall, eindstort is relatively rare in everyday language and is typically found in project specifications, regulatory documents, or technical reports related to waste handling and civil engineering.
