A DPD delivery van driver has drawn the fury of angry locals after he was caught on CCTV brazenly dumping rubbish in two streets in Bolton.
In one video, the driver can be seen opening the back doors of his van and whipping out a mattress and leaving it next to a skip in a back alley behind Arnold Street.
In another, he is seen unloading more rubbish behind a nearby St Augustine Street, just around the corner.
The driver later returned and collected the items. Residents said he told them that he was going to take them to the tip but it was closed at the time.
Courier firm DPD said it will be looking into the incident, which took place on January 1, and is aiming to identify the driver in the footage in order for it to take further action.
A local resident, who did not wish to be named, said: “Fly-tipping in the area is not good enough. It just shouldn't happen.
"This time the person didn't realise there was a camera and that people also saw them do it.
"We want to make an example out of them so that this doesn't happen again.
"It costs the council a lot of money and they have to collect it, which they have been really good with."
Local councillor Rabiya Jiva said fly-tipping has happened on numerous occasions in the area, but that no evidence had been discovered until the emergence of the footage.
She said: "Bolton Council has been notified by multiple residents surrounding this incident and fly-tipping in the area, and enforcement action will be taken.
"We want the area to be a cleaner and brighter place for all residents and people who live close by.
"We also want people to use the tip services provided and report it when they see incidents like this and ring their local authorities.”
In a DPD company statement, a spokesperson said: "At DPD we take the conduct of our people very seriously indeed, including their interaction with other road users, our customers and their property.
"The behaviour of our driver here was unforgivable and completely unacceptable.
"The driver will be identified and appropriate action will be taken."
