Mountains of Christmas rubbish have been seen overflowing recycling areas outside a city's supermarkets.
Sheffield residents rushing to get rid of their festive season waste have dumped it outside the stores, sparking fury.
The massive piles of cardboard and bags of rubbish have formed towering messes outside at recycling points at Sheffield's supermarkets, Yorkshire Live reports.
The rubbish blighting the spaces angered residents who spotted the eyesores after Boxing Day.
The huge mounds of dumped rubbish have been seen at Asda stores in Chapeltown, Handsworth and Parsons Cross.
Morrisons in Ecclesfield has a huge pile too.
Residents in the area have been left disgusted by the mess, especially following the high winds that swept across the country on Boxing Day.
One angered local said: "It's absolutely disgusting, the bins are all full, so people have just dumped at front.
"Why they couldn't just go and try the actual recycling centre at Longley (or Google the opening times first) or even drive down to check if Morrisons bins had space, I don't know."
Another said: "Selfish people, taking advantage of the store being closed for two days while hard working staff have a rest, giving them more to do when they go back.
"Disgusting."
While someone else added: "People should be ashamed of themselves! It annoys the life out of me that the blue bin is so small and only emptied once a month but I wouldn't dream of dumping it elsewhere for someone else to sort out."
The rubbish was dumped despite Sheffield Council allowing extra waste to be collected alongside normal bin days during the festive period.
Between December 27 and January 22 residents are able to put out up to two bags of extra general waste to be collected.
