Is this huge pile of rubbish the biggest load of fly-tipped garbage ever?
Flytippers have illegally dumped an enormous amount of rubbish in a country lane in Staffordshire.
The steaming heap appeared in the village of Yoxall on Friday afternoon, to the horror of local residents.
Villagers believe that the enormous mountain of waste may have been left by a HGV that dumped its load after realising it had driven down a dead end.
Photographer Tony Slater snapped the pile of rubbish after he and his wife stumbled across the site while out walking.
He said: "It is absolutely disgusting.
"I have never seen anything like it in my life. It stinks to high heaven. There's all sorts in there - food, dirty nappies - I dread to think what else.
"It's like walking onto a landfill site.
"The road itself used to be the main road through the village, but it was closed off a few years ago.
"Now we've got loads of heavy goods vehicles coming right through the centre of the village, they mount the pavements because there's not enough room for them to pass.
"This is just the final straw - the whole village is up in arms."
