In Warner Books' 1960 edition of To Kill a Mockingbird, the location of the town dump, found on pages 170 and 171, is essential to the story’s theme of discrimination and prejudice.

On page 170, the reader learns that the Ewells live in an old Negro cabin behind the town dump. Their home's location is important because the dump is how the Ewells live, besides their father's hunting and whatever is left from their relief check after Bob drinks it away. Their furniture, shoes, clothing, and some of their food comes from the dump. Their home is also littered with junk from the yard. The fact that the Ewells live directly near the town dump reflects their position in society. The Ewells are seen as “poor white trash,” and correspondingly, the respectable people of Maycomb distance themselves from them.

On page 171, Scout states that "a dirt road ran from the highway past the dump, down to a small Negro settlement some 500 yards beyond the Ewells'." This is important to the story because, like the Ewells, most citizens of Maycomb look down on the African-American citizens.

Therefore, according to Maycomb, the town dump is a suitable location for their lower-class citizens.
