This comes after wardens also found recycling bins contaminated with cannabis waste in the parking area between Great Holme Court and North Holme Court in the Thorplands area of Northampton earlier this month.

Fly tipping can be reported to the council via a dedicated page on its website.

The act of illegal disposal of waste is a criminal offence that can carry a sentence of five years in prison and a £50,000 fine.
