It's just like a pool, but garbage was dumped inside, very commonly seen in China but I don't know if there's any equivalent in the West.

(trash) transfer station
Similar, but definitely not the same.
Try a Google image search of "transfer station" you'll see.

Garbage Collection Enclosure
I found a description about those enclosures online: "银田村的垃圾池，大多建在路边或者集中居住点，一般长2米、宽1.6米，由红砖围砌，抹上水泥，便是简易的垃圾“中转站”。包装盒、烂家具、瓶瓶罐罐、剩菜剩饭……各种垃圾堆放于此，臭味弥漫、蝇虫滋生" (http://www.xinhuanet.com/local/2019-10/10/c_1125086773.htm).
I don't believe that I have seen anything like this in the US even though I was involved in a couple of solid waste management training program and visited quite a few facilities. That's a direct translation may not exist and we will have to come up with a descriptive translation, such as "garbage collection enclosure."
That being said, I think Frank's "transfer station" is close enough since the garbage collection enclosures serve as a solid waste transfer station, too. My two cents.

Garbage Collection Point
This sort of garbage collecting facility is obvisouly shabby and would not be used in developed countries.
However, a similar but sounder facility with same functionality can be found here:

It's named "Garbage Collection Point"

garbage dump
This 垃圾池 is not huge enough to be called a landfill. It's more likely to be a garbage dump you often see outside Chinese villages or in urban compounds.

There is no equivalent. The closest thing I can think of is "garbage dumpster" （垃圾箱）

Unlike a "pool" which is stationary, a dumpster can be hauled away, or a big truck can lift it up with mechanical arms and dump its contents into the truck.

dump pit or garbage/waste dump pit
垃圾池是个比较“文”的说法。一般叫垃圾坑或者垃圾堆。
dump pit 或者garbage dump pit

有道dictionary has this for example：
At other times he drives a bulldozer in "the pit", where rubbish trucks dump San Francisco's household waste, to be loaded onto bigger trucks also headed for the landfill.
其他时候，他负责在被称为“深坑”的地方驾驶推土机。在这里，那些来自圣弗朗西斯科洲的家庭生活废品被运来了，又被更大的垃圾装载车运走，继续前往堆填区。
