Wicko District Garbage Pit

A garbage pit near to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, this garbage pit is one of the many sites around the garbage planet, where Coruscant's garbage is shot into space. All of the unwanted garbage is collected and placed onconveyer belts. This garbage is then directed to a pod, which is then loaded into a large gun-type structure. On pre-programmed trajectories the pods are shot into space, through first a tractor beam shield, to set its' trajectory, and then an accelration shield, to guide the pod into orbit above Coruscant. There it is collected by garbage vehicles, and disposed of. Some volatile material is shot straight into the sun. Unwanted material s dumped into the garbage pit bottom, where it is digested by worms, and excreted as silicone.

In the novel Italic textRouge Planet, Anakin Skywalker has to navigate through the variuos shields in a hang-glider contraption and drop through the different levels to the bottom. There he must grab a scale off of the a worm and present to the race master to claim his prize. This is stopped by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who saves him form an assination attempt from a Blood Carver.
