Pikku Huopalahti dumping ground, Former waste disposal site in Pikku Huopalahti, Helsinki, Finland
The dumping ground operated between 1937 and 1949, accepting domestic waste, paper, and ashes from the surrounding residential areas in Helsinki.
The establishment of this disposal site coincided with the construction of Tilkka Military Hospital in 1936, serving as a primary waste management facility.
Local residents named the area Poor Man's Stockmann, referring to the various items found there, comparing it to Helsinki's central department store.
The ground underwent environmental rehabilitation in the 1990s, with special layers isolating old materials and new topsoil placed for residential development.
The site contained small manufacturing facilities and car repair shops, serving as a filming location for Uuno Turhapuro motion pictures in the 1980s.
