Recycling centres in South Lanarkshire will remain closed until they can be "safely re-opened".
All six of the council's recycling centres - five of which are operator by waste management firm Viridor - have been closed for a number of weeks following restrictions brought in to help stop the spread of coronavius.
A number of English councils have re-opened recycling centres amid a rise in fly-tipping but the Scottish Government still considers journeys to dispose of excess waste as unessential.
In North Lanarkshire, more than 2300 people have signed a petition demanding that the council opens up recycling centres there.
South Lanarkshire Council were unable to confirm if there had been any change to reported levels of fly-tipping since the UK-wide lockdown was brought in to slow the spread of the virus, but they have redoubled efforts to encourage people not to break the law.
Alistair McKinnon, head of facilities, waste and grounds services, said: “Like councils across Scotland, our recycling centres are currently closed and we are listening to the advice from the UK and Scottish Governments before making a decision on them reopening.
“In the meantime we would urge everybody to remember that we are all in this together and it is not just anti-social, but also criminal, to fly-tip. Anyone caught doing so will face a substantial fine.
“We have been able to maintain our kerbside bin collections so people should make best use of those, and store any larger or excess waste until such times as we are able to safely re-open our recycling centres.
“The message is very simple – don’t make your rubbish your neighbours’ problem.”
