A group of West Lothian girls were snapped by one furious local who watched on as they poured out rubbish that had just been collected by litter pickers.
The group of four brazen youngsters showed no regard for residents as they mindlessly scattered the litter in front of people's homes, in Livingston.
One local woman managed to get a picture of the group girls as they "redistributed" the rubbish, before reportedly launching a zimmer frame through the air.
She said: "Just saw these four delightful young “ladies” trying to redistribute the rubbish the litter pickers have collected. Tried to throw a zimmer type frame at my car but she hit the tree instead. Your parents must be enormously proud!"
A group in West Lothian has been set up to tackle rubbish on its streets. Described as an "enthusiastic group of people who have a passion for the environment and a disgust for litter", West Lothian Litter Pickers now has over two thousand members on its Facebook group.
One member revealed they had picked up a whopping 276 bags of litter in just one day on Saturday and were aiming to collect 500 bags by the time the weekend was over.
Throughout lockdown, people across the country have highlighted the scourge of disposable face masks and gloves that have been dumped on the streets.

Meanwhile, with many dumps and waste recycling centre closed thoughout periods in the last year, locals have reported an surge of fly-tipping incidents.
One man told Edinburgh Live that the situation has become horrific as thoughtless litterbugs pile up their rubbish outside his place of work.
Matthew Smith said he's becoming hacked off after three separate piles of rubbish were dumped outside his food manufacturing business at Butlerfield Industrial Estate, Bonnyrigg.
Meanwhile, Sighthill-Gorgie has been turned into the worst area in the city for dumping rubbish, the latest Edinburgh Council statistics reveal.
The neighbourhood logged 1,170 requests to the council for fly-tipped and dumped items in 2020 - excluding December.
That figure accounted for around 12 per cent of all dumping reports logged across the city.
