This is the disgusting mess left by festive fly tippers on a quiet lane.
More than 30 bin bags of rubbish, including Christmas wrapping paper, were left on a track off Pole Lane, in Unsworth, Whitefield.
The discovery on December 28 has outraged locals.

On the Facebook Page, Spotted Unsworth and Whitefield, one posted: "35+ bags of household waste... I am fuming, this is the 2nd time in a week....why do some people live like savages."
Another commented: "Disgusting...pure disregard for the environment...I'm sure the recycling centres are open, people continue to disappoint me...hope CCTV identifies the perpetrators...and their waste can be delivered back to their garden."
It is believed the waste was left overnight between December 27th and 28th, and has now been reported to Bury council enforcement officers.
One person commented: "Wow. Don’t get it. If they could take the time to drive down lane and dump it all (assuming they didn’t walk & carry multiple bags at a time) why not just take it to the tip like the rest of us - utter laziness & total disregard right there!! Selfish Tw*ts!"
Another local suggested: "Look for locals offering to clear Christmas waste. Should find the culprits."
As reported in the Manchester Evening News the crime has become such an issue in the Bury area it has resulted in the setting up of an army of residents determined to make where they live cleaner.
Throughout the district you will see neatly tied bags bulging with rubbish left next to council street, park, and public footpath bins.
They have been filled by volunteers and will be collected by town hall workers.
Keep Bury Clean has about 1,000 members with local groups in Radcliffe, and Prestwich and Whitefield.
Jane Edyvean of the Bury group said she would like Greater Manchester's local councils - preferably Bury - to adopt a radical new approach to tackling the tide of rubbish left on its streets, parks, and walkways, which has increased since the pandemic.
In April, Maidstone council will launch the first pilot scheme in the country to use LitterCam cameras. Motorists will be fined for throwing litter out of their cars. Fines will start at £90 and rise to £120 if unpaid in 15 days.
There will be a zero-tolerance approach, so even those throwing a cigarette butt or apple out of the window will get a fine.
It is hoped that a similar trial could be started in Wigan. A change in the law in 2018 meant there was no longer a need to prove who had thrown rubbish out of a vehicle to prosecute someone. It was only necessary to identify the vehicle's official keeper.
