A van-load of rubbish that was dumped on the side of a busy road in Nottinghamshire has sparked calls for fly-tippers to be "named and shamed".
The waste was left on the side of the A611 Hucknall Road near Annesley, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, on July 22, and is believed to have been one of three separate loads on the road.
A resident in the area who found the fly-tip and posted it online described it as a "blight" to the area, saying she came across three separate piles during a litter pick on the A611.
Jane Bradley, who lives nearby in Annesley, praised the way Ashfield District Council responds to incidents of fly-tipping but said more needs to be done to tackle the culprits - including cameras.
"Why oh why do some people have to blight our neighbourhood", she said.
"All the effort [they have] taken to reverse in and dump it. Do they not understand it’s all our taxes that pay to clear up their mess?
"Ashfield District Council do a fantastic job in society's war against fly-tipping. Especially the guys that work the A611.
"The Ashfield waste team have been brilliant in chasing down fly-tipping and getting on top of it.
"I came across three lots of dumped rubbish last night on my A611 litter pick to Hucknall.
"We need to name and shame fly-tippers [and] we need to praise the work of the council and local people who take many an hour clearing litter and rubbish and taking pride in our area.
"Fly-tipping is certainly more of a problem and I think more cameras need installing."
Last year Ashfield District Council revealed statistics which showed fly-tipping was down by 21 percent in the district, with the council taking a hard line on the issue.
A number of methods are used to tackle fly-tippers, with "camouflaged" cameras deployed in hot-spots and operations carried out to target "rogue waste contractors".
Councillor Tom Hollis, deputy leader of Ashfield District Council said: “We will not tolerate fly-tipping or any other environmental crime in this district.
"We will have no hesitation in prosecuting those who are caught."
