disagree  Daryo: to pre prevod za "fill with rubbish / burry under the rubbish " // "a littered entrance" = nešto je "razbacano / posejano svugde okolo" pre ulazom u količinama dovoljnim da proizvedu nered, ali ulaz nije zatrpan niti napunjen.

neutral  Daryo: ako je u pitanju napušteni rudnik, može da bude i gomila zarđale gvožđurije razbacana pred ulazom u rudnik
2 hrs
  -> Ako je napusteni rudnik blizu neke diskoteke, moze biti i gomila opušaka i flaša, istina. Ali u postavci pitanja stoji da je termin u značenju vezan sa šumom i organsko materijom
