the tips


Explanation:
This definition is among several at the first link: "fylling (der noe tippes)". Examples of the English "tip" in this context are at the second link. Among these is the example sentence. It's a fairly common term in construction, waste disposal and mining for disposing of a quantity of waste material by piling it and possibly burying it.

Example sentence(s):
  • The site has operated for many years as a landfill facility serving the Burnley and east Lancashire catchment area and was previously a tip for colliery spoil.
