Piles of rubbish have been pictured in the north of Glasgow as the city contends with relentless fly-tipping.
Household items, plastic bags, and cardboard boxes are among the items that have been thoughtlessly tossed away in Springburn.
One furious Glasgow resident, who posted the pictures on social media, told Glasgow Live: "Within five minutes of walking through Springburn I clocked a sea of rubbish. How is this normal?
"I took the photos on Avonspark Street, Wellfield Street and Atlas Road.
"It’s not isolated to the Springburn area. The entire city is filthy and neglected. Such a shame."
Oliver, who has lived in the city for six years, added: "Between that and the potholes it doesn’t make Glasgow a very attractive place to be."
Glasgow City Council confirmed cleansing staff will be tasked with clearing the backlog of bulky items dumped in Avonspark Street and appealed for members of the public to come forward with more details so that they could work to remove items continuously fly-tipped illegally.
It comes as Glasgow was revealed to have the highest amount of fly-tipping incidents across Scotland in the last two years.
Figures obtained by the Scottish Liberal Democrats show that Glasgow City Council reported the highest number of incidents with 48,539 since 2019.
The figure is followed by Edinburgh, where 25,717 incidents were reported.
Only 126 incidents in Glasgow have been issued with fixed penalty notices since 2019, and zero incidents were reported to the procurator fiscal.
Commenting, Paul Sweeney MSP said: "Under the SNP run Glasgow City Council, catastrophic cuts to the cleansing budget have resulted in fly tipping on an industrial scale with communities across the city bearing the brunt.
“There are areas of the city that have been disproportionately impacted, and Springburn is one of them which is why we need a masterplan to reinvigorate the area as a matter of priority.
“The council elections in May have never been more important.”
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: “Fly-tipping and littering is unacceptable. People have a basic duty to dispose of their waste appropriately at all times.
“It’s not fully clear from the information provided where some of these incidents have taken place and whether the council is responsible for the ground in question.
“If the member of public could contact us directly, we are happy to meet with them in person at these places and establish what measures can most effectively address their concerns.
“We urge anyone reporting an environmental issue to provide as much detail as possible as that will help us provide a suitable response.
“The fly-tipping on Avonspark St will be dealt with by the local team.”
