Spurrier said the waste was not contained, meaning that it was spreading into the surrounding neighbourhood.
“In the bad weather it gets wet and starts to smell and you don’t actually know what is in there either,” she explained.
Spurrier, who moved to the town from Newton-le-Willows a year ago, said she had been “shocked” by the amount of fly tipping in St Helens.
“There are beautiful parts but it is sad people are dumping litter and can’t take pride in where they live.”
According to Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) figures, over the last decade (2014-15 to 2024-25) there have been 21,194 fly-tipping incidents in St Helens.
There was a significant increase between 2023 and 2024, when it went up by 1,158 incidents (1,901 to 3,059).
Since then, it has fallen back to 1,366 incidents in 2024-25.
