A beauty spot popular with dog walkers isn't quite so attractive now after a vanload of household rubbish was fly-tipped there.
A mound of plastic waste, electrical items and nursery gear was dumped on land near a former railway site at Pontarddulais.
Included in the rubbish is what looks like a fridge or tumble dryer, a child's safety gate and several bags of waste.
Retired Peter Walters, who lives nearby, said this was the first time he had seen such rubbish on the land near Highland Terrace.
He said: "We were out walking on Sunday morning, and out of the corner of my eye I could see one or two bags of rubbish.
"Then I saw loads of stuff. It looked like it was the contents of a nursery."
He described seeing a fridge or tumble dryer, and several large plastic items - saying it looked as if it was the contents of someone's house.
He said it would have easily filled a white van.
Mr Walters said he would be prepared to help in the clear-up, but didn't know what to do with the unwanted items afterwards.
He said: "I would be prepared to go up to the river and bring the rubbish back out. I would go to look for addresses. I think the owner of the stuff should be thrown the book at."
More on fly-tipping:
He called for CCTV to be put up outside the houses nearby, so that it could catch the culprits red-handed.
Mr Walters said the area near the Graig Fawr railway and mountain was popular with dog walkers.
Local councillor Kevin Griffiths described the mess as "disgusting". He claimed the area had seen fly-tipping from Carmarthenshire, judging by the colour of the bags.
He was even aware of asbestos sheets being dumped in Waun Gron.
He said: "We need to crack down on it. Nobody wants to be fining people all the time, but if they're going to continue to do this something's got to be done."
The fly-tipping could also have potential environmental hazards, if the rubbish included oil or other pollutants, he said.
A spokesman for Swansea Council said the local authority was powerless to prosecute if the fly-tipping was not on its land.
But the landowner could do so if they found out who was responsible.
