A Canadian dated term for a landfill, rubbish dump, or waste heap — a designated area for disposal of refuse and waste. The phrase has a politely bureaucratic quality, treating the dump as a 'nuisance' ground in the legal-administrative sense. Now largely replaced by 'landfill' or 'dump' in contemporary Canadian English.
The old nuisance ground on the edge of town was eventually capped and turned into a park.
