They said: “Was driving down Brimstage Lane earlier. This had just been dumped. Someone must know where this came from. Disgusted this has happened again.”

The images were met by shared outrage from residents.

One person said: “That’s not just disgusting, it's bloody dangerous part way on a road, and a narrow lane too.”

Another said: “The official tip is just minutes away that's so disreputable for everyone should get made to clear or up and get A very heavy fine on the spot.”

A third added: “Why not go the Brimstage tip it's only around the corner. Strange people who got money to have a van and run it on the road and use it like a dumping machine should lose your license for that.”

Another comment said: “Most of it could be reused or recycled by the looks of it. Such a waste and irresponsible.”

A Wirral Council spokesperson said: “Fly-tipping on public land is an issue we take very seriously due to the impact it has on people’s quality of life and the cost in environmental as well as financial terms.

“Residents are encouraged to report all incidents of fly-tipping to the council at the earliest opportunity.

"Reports are logged and Environmental Enforcement Officers will follow-up with an inspection seeking evidence linking it to an offender.

"We will always seek to prosecute anyone who we can prove has tipped on public land.

"Reports are also passed over immediately to Wirral’s street cleansing contractor, Biffa, to remove the waste according to priority.”
