Rubble is broken stone or masonry. "Detritus" might work. In some cases "ruins" would be more appropriate.

"Rescue workers searched the rubble for survivors after the Turkish town was flattened by an earthquake." means the same as "Rescue workers searched the ruins for survivors after the Turkish town was flattened by an earthquake."

"The workers backfilled with rubble." would be the same as "The workers backfilled with detritus."
