Tonnes of waste has been illegally dumped on a lane just a short distance from an official recycling site.
The rubbish was found dumped along Kings Weston Lane in Avonmouth, less than a mile away from the Bristol Waste-run household waste centre.
Bristol City Council said the huge pile of rubbish, which contained nappies, plastic and pallets, contained material with addresses on it, while Bristol Waste said the clear-up operation will cost £20,000.
A council spokesperson said: “Officers have assessed the site and are now making arrangements for the right equipment to be sent to clear this sizeable and illegal dumping of waste.”
