Does anyone know of a company that produces the sort of detritus that appears in the roads when vehicles are fleeing or bombed out?

Do you mean like discarded stowage, or broken bits blown off?
What scale? (I'm going to assume 1/35?)

more along the lines or discarded stowage and general rubbish. I have lots of odds and sods in my junk box so not that important I was just wondering. Thanks for getting back to me.

You may not have seen, just added couple of links...
Some of those websites will do stowage too, plus don't forget Temu and Ali Express and Amazon and eBay....
On a couple of dioramas I've just used spare bit, lolly sticks, bits of foam, small rocks, gravel, twigs, plus filler, hodge pog, mud paste, etc

Miniart used to do loads of misc stuff, boxes, barrels, suitcases, tableware, signs, etc.
And Tamiya do a few misc items kits too, animals, brick walls, signs, road furniture, lamp posts, etc, etc...

To those who burn wood for heat like myself sweepings from the wood racks
works well in certain scenarios as does regular garden soil mixed in.
1/4 inch sheet foam can be cut and carved to make individual bricks and broken brick sections.
I cut 1/35 scale brick width strips and then cut to approximate brick size then
roll them around a bit between my fingers to round edges a bit then paint
with a brick like color.
Broken up pieces of sheet rock is very versatile, just wet and peel off paper backing
Old water damaged and peeling furniture veneer is pure gold for shattered wood effects.
If you come across any grab as much as you can

I save all the bench & work debris as well as household detritus like paint chips & 'found objects'. As I replace US & German jerry cans, etc. w/Neil's 3D printed items, I save the old stuff for just that.

Thanks guys for the replies I do exactly the same as you guys as well as keeping my eyes open when walking the dogs. I have a lots of empty boxes and crap in the spare box. It was more along the line of small cardboard boxes etc. But I guess I can make those as well. Thanks again for all the feedback.
