Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 354 — English translation

Translation: Sefaria Community Translation. Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.

1. 1The Laws of a Pit and Trash Pile in the Public Domain, 2 Seifim: If there is a water pit in the public domain with an embankment surrounding it, if it is within four tefachim of the private domain, it is permitted to draw water from it to the private domain, even if the embankment is not ten [tefachim] high. If it is four tefachim away from the private domain, we do not fill from it unless the embankment is ten tall.
2. 2If a trash pile in the public domain is ten tall and four wide, if it is public, one may throw something into it from the private domain that is near. Rema: And we do not worry that the object will roll from the trash to the public domain and he will go pick it up, because one generally only throws disgusting things to a trash heap (the Magid chapter 15 in the name of the Rashb"a) , and if it is a private trash heap, this is forbidden because the individual empties it and will end up emptying it regularly and pouring things into the public domain.
