New photographs have been shared of a 'disgusting' recycling box filled with used tissues and left on the kerbside for collectors during the coronavirus crisis.
Like other authorities across the area, North Somerset Council has urged residents not to leave personal waste – such as kitchen and toilet roll - out for workers.
But not everyone has been listening to the crucial advice which helps to reduce the spread of the deadly disease.
Earlier this month, Bristol Live posted a story showing a recycling box filled with used tissues.
And sadly just weeks later a similar picture has been shared by North Somerset Council on Facebook.
A spokesperson said: "This box was left out for the crew yesterday. Do NOT put tissues, kitchen roll, toilet paper or paper hand towels in your recycling boxes.
"These are NOT recyclable and could pose a threat to crews. Boxes containing these items will NOT be collected."
Scores of outraged people responded to the message slamming the homeowner.
One person wrote: "Eurgh! That's disgusting at any time let alone with everything that's going on at the moment."
And someone said: "That is one of the worst I ever saw. Disgusting."
While another person said: "Inconsiderate, ignorant people."
It's hoped that by publicly shaming those behind the boxes on social media it will deter others from throwing their used tissues into recycling boxes.
The pictures come on the same day that the UK's coronavirus-related deaths climbs to almost 13,000.
While in Bristol, 369 people have tested positive for the highly contagious infection.
