I've seen several times, too, when they are building a new neighborhood around here they dig a pit and put up a sign saying "concrete washout". They wash out concrete mixers, dump concrete rubble, etc. They then cover this it and it gets paved over as a road or made into a lawn in a common area or something.

They don't bury this. They scoop it all up and haul it to a landfill. That picture you have of the washout, should also be lined with plastic sheeting because wet concrete is hazardous.
