Tyres, tins, cast-away white goods, cardboard boxes, duvets, pet cages, dismantled furniture and Styrofoam packaging are among this mountain of fly-tipped rubbish spotted in Manchester.
The shameful display of waste on Lime Bank Street, off Ashton Old Road, was captured by our photographer - and the culprits could face fines of up to £50,000 or prison.
It follows reports of a 'huge increase' in fly-tipping during the last lockdown, which appears to have continued into the second wave. However, unlike during the first peak, recycling centres in Greater Manchester have remained open this time - if only for 'essential visits'.
It's thought perpetrators have been taking advantage of councils distracted by the pandemic - but there have been recent warnings of a crack-down on dumpers.
Just last week, Oldham Council reported that Cowling Road in Chadderton was blocked by a huge pile of rubbish which had been fly-tipped overnight.
The local authority said it would look for evidence and take action if it found any against the perpetrators.
The amount of waste that was left was a staggering 17 tons, the council confirmed, and removing it will cost more than £3,000.
Last month, meanwhile, residents in the Hathershaw area of Oldham slammed people who had 'filled the streets with rubbish'.
Pictures sent to the Manchester Evening News showed back streets in the Dowry Street/Ashton Road area full of black litter bags and unwanted goods.
In one image, items including mattresses and a bathtub appeared to have been left behind a row of houses in the Greater Manchester town.
The man who took the photos said: "The council come and shift it and within two weeks the streets are full of rubbish again."
And earlier in November an MP hit out at 'disrespectful' fly tippers who dumped rubbish outside a museum.
Mark Logan, who represents Bolton North East, took to Facebook to highlight the mess left outside Hall i' th' Wood Museum.
Footage posted by Mr Logan showed a pile of rubbish, including cardboard, bin bags and even a suitcase strewn outside the 16th century manor house.
He described the mess left behind as 'simply disgusting'.
The Manchester Evening News has contacted the ward councillors for comment.
