A large pile, usually of a single material, such as coal or salt. Typically used as a storage location.

How to map

Map the outline of the heap as a closed polygon and tag with man_made=heap.

• resource=*
  • resource=coal
  • resource=salt

  • resource=aluminium_oxide

Examples

• 
  A coal storage pile. resource=coal
•

• 
  Pile of sorted gravel. resource=gravel
