Waste stack

It is obvious that significant effort has gone into the stacking of waste in this fashion. Possible reasons might be a requirement in the lease to occupy as little ground as possible or else it was less costly to stack waste in this manner than to carry it to a point at which it could be dumped down-slope of the workings.
