: Found one reference for sterile deposit in a description of an operating room: http://www.adventziekenhuis.com/eng/news_OR_2001.htm, everything else refers to mineral deposits.

Spanish term (edited):
dep�sito de est�riles
deposit of fruitless elements
si se trata de el medio ambiente es lo que yo utilizaría, ya que se refiere a los deshechos de las cosechas dañadas, plantíos... en general también se usa así para referirse a una mala estación (temporada) en el campo.

Ojalá sea de utilidad!!
